Talk:Director's Cut (Kate Bush album)

Compilation?
Is it really fair to call this a compilation album? It seems like it's somewhere in between a compilation and a studio album... and Kate says herself she thinks of it as a brand new album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.5.131.218 (talk) 18:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Sound Clips
Why have the sound clips been removed?

Track 11
Why is track 11 being repeatedly deleted from the track listing? The press release names Rubberband Girl as the 11th track. JustinX

She's confirmed the track list without "Rubberband Girl" at her page on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/notes/kate-bush/directors-cut-track-list-confirmed/10150138046105680 Lipe

That's most certainly an error. Two different record stores confirm the listing with RbG, as does katebushnews.com. --Harnack (talk) 16:55, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

"All songs written by Kate Bush"
From what I understand, Kate uses James Joyce's original poem on the new version of "The Sensual World" ("Flower of the Mountain"), which would mean it'd probably be credited as Joyce/Bush. JustinX

I agree with you. Let's see how it will appear at the booklet of her album. Lipe

Charting
It hasn't entered the charts quite yet! It got to number 1 in the chart update, but that doesn't count as an official charting. It will be officially chart on Sunday, so can we just put that it is 'indicated' that it will get to number 1, for now (until Sunday).

Song clip
Now that the album is out, can someone put in a song clip? (I don't know how to do it.) Anything but Deeper Understanding, please! Maybe the new Flower of the Mountain, as being the most rewritten, or the all-acoustic Moments of Pleasure? --TEHodson 23:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Studio Album or Compilation?
I notice this is listed in Kate's discography as being a Studio Album, but as it isn't new material, and is made up of songs from previous studio albums wouldn't that make it a compilation like The Whole Story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.49.4 (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * We had this discussion in full already, when the album came out. It's a studio album because she rerecorded every song to one degree or another, some entirely. It's just not a typical studio album, but nothing Kate does is typical. There is no category for "albums of revisited and rerecorded songs from previous albums done in a studio instead of live onstage." It is fine to just let this be.

Running Up That Hill (2012 version)
A year after Director's Cut came out, Kate released a new version of Running Up that Hill which debuted (I believe) during either the opening or closing ceremonies for the 2012 London Olympics. Given that it was basically a continuation of the Director's Cut concept, featuring once again a new vocal and the song pitched in a new key, is it known whether it was commissioned by the Olympics because of Director's Cut or was it recorded at the same time as Director's Cut? This would be relevant to mention in the article. As it is, it's probably reasonable to mention that she did the re-recording as a follow-up (followed a few years later by the live shows and Before the Dawn live album). 136.159.160.5 (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
