After the incredible popularity of her song “Running Up The Hill”, and big sales of her complete catalog, old and new fans of Kaye Bush have put in some serious demand for her Best Of The Other Sides album, which includes B-sides and unreleased tracks. The original release is currently unavailable in any format.
To satisfy the demand, the singer and Fish People (label) digitally re-released the album on September 26, 2025 and will release on CD and vinyl on October 31, 2025.
That compilation album was shared back in 2018 as part of a definitive remastering project, and had a setlist comprised of B-sides and extra tracks that had never appeared on an album.
The tracklist for that album included new 12” mixes of “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”, “The Big Sky”, “Cloudbusting”, “Hounds of Love”, and “Experiment IV”. B-sides included 1989’s “Walk Straight Down The Middle”, 1993’s “You Want Alchemy”, 1989’s “Be Kind To My Mistakes”, 1985’s “Under The Ivy”, 1982’s “Ne T’enfuis Pas”, and “Lyra”, which was taken from The Golden Compass Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
Bush has also been teasing her return to writing music, and said last year she was “very keen” to start working on new material. When announcing Little Shrew back in October 2024, Bush spoke about the possibility of working on new music, sharing: “I’ve got lots of ideas and I’m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space, it’s been a long time,” she said.
Asked if it was something she had been hoping to do for a while, Bush replied: “Yes it is, really. Particularly the last year, I’ve felt really ready to start doing something new.”
