Description

Delve into the eclectic sounds of Kate Bush with this 1978 Japanese edition 7" vinyl single, featuring the tracks "Them Heavy People" and "The Man With The Child In His Eyes." Released by EMI, the record embodies the fusion of late 1970s art rock and new wave vibes, delivering a timeless listening experience for enthusiasts of the genre. Crafted from high-quality vinyl, this single offers a rich auditory journey through the alternative and pop rock landscapes that Kate Bush so masterfully navigated. A true gem for collectors and music aficionados alike, it's a tangible piece of music history that resonates with the distinctive style and spirit of the era.
A interesting thing for collectors is that Japan was the only country that released “Them Heavy People” as an A-side and relegated “The Man With The Child In His Eyes” as a B-side. The cover image is also unique to this Japanese release.

The photographs shown are of the actual item for sale. This disc looks to be in excellent (EX) condition with no visible marks. The disc comes in a polymer sleeve within a generic green Toshiba-EMI paper slipcase. A separate photo sheet cover has the 2 song lyrics printed in English on the reverse and the title track printed in Japanese. The cover and paper slipcase are both in very good (VG+) condition which is acceptable for an item that is now well over 45 years old!
