rfmcdonaldI finally picked up Kate Bush's "King of the Mountain" single today. Of course I have the song already on mp3. It's true that I needed to buy the single anyway, in order to reward one of my favourite artists. As if to reward the devoted fan, the B-side was her cover of "Sexual Healing." That song is available here, at the Kate Bush in Mp3 website. That version of the song is terribly scratchy, sadly, even after reprocessing.
So, how is the CD-quality version of this famous cover? It's good, and I'm glad that I own it. The thing that I should have kept in mind, alas, is that a scratchy and terribly imperfect song allows the imagination rather more space than one that's technically perfect. It's a good B-side, but it should be a B-side.
