The man with the child in his eyes - Kate Bush

Kate Bush released her second single 'The man with the child in his eyes' in the summer of 1978. This 7" single is a bit of a rarity, since the single version of this track has only ever been released on one obscure cd compilation. It remains unreleased on any Kate Bush cd.

Kate wrote the song when she was only 13 years old. It was recorded at Air Studios in 1975. The single reached number 6 in the UK and number 27 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 676
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1986
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'The man with the child in his eyes' / 'Moving'

  1. God bless you! I've been after this original version for years. I bought the 7" as a kid and absolutely adored the beginning. Now thanks to you my collection is once again complete. Many thanks,
