Kate Bush - Scares Me Silly (But It Gets Me Going)

An unreleased Kate Bush track recorded during studio sessions for her debut album "The Kick Inside" at AIR Studios London between July and Aug 1977.

This track was left of the final album and was never used as a "B" side. It was recorded, produced and mixed by Andrew Powell.

The loss in sound quality is due to this digital copy being made from a later generation analogue cassette transfer that had been "passed down" & copied multiple times by fans on home twin cassette decks between the 70's and the 90's.

Until it finally became possible to digitally preserve (on home computer) the quality of a (by that time) random multiple generation cassette, so preventing any further loss in sound quality that was always inevitable with analogue cassette copying (up until the technological shift away from "home taping" (in analogue) to "CD burning" (in digital).

It is not a demo, it is genuinely the only unreleased finished studio recording to leak out in her entire career (thanks in no small part to her later purchase of a home studio).

Thanks so much for making it so that we can hear this one and only unreleased Kate track!

[calicomoonchild]

Your welcome.

From "Hounds of Love" (onwards), everything was recorded in her home studio (that she built after "The Dreaming"), so who knows what a treasure-trove of "gems" she has lying around in her private home studio (from 84-09), that no-one can access but her.

Thanks for not only the audio but not using the same photos everybody uses when posting audio clips. Love that one of her "flying".

[calicomoonchild]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

A fantastic find!

Even her "left-overs" are 10 times better than anything being put out today!!!!

@tadge72 woo meeting them is the be all and end all for you isnt it

[Sharmilka]

[JeSuisMonAmiPourTu]

playing THIS for Shady too... i've loved Kate Bush for years since my teen years...but most of the stuff radio played has lacked what these earlier demo tracks have....

[catjoyyoung]

Wow! So Cool! Where did you find this?

[2012UKOlympics]

should have been released - pure art

[tadge72]

@henrycaville i was 5 in 1977 so not quite the fan but my mum bought WH and I used to dance around the house to it. were you born then?

[tadge72]

@MisterBlue24 oh dear. i can only assume you use this utube account to slag people off as i notice you include no personal info on it. maybe you should redirect your anger where it might be more constructive. no wonder kate doesnt like meeting fans if there are cretins like you running around- and let;s all assume you havent actually met kate then.

[MisterBlue24]

@tadge72 Who said anything about the Red Shoes? Not me. You presume too much! When I say I met her, I mean exactly what I say. Perhaps she didn't talk to you because she could see what a childish cunt you are - I certainly can. Do yourself a big favour and grow up!

[tadge72]

@MisterBlue24 the red shoes viewing? i there also and actually none of us met Kate, she was just there. i met her at the whole story signing fan club convention in 1987. you really cant win mate! And I have also met Paddy Bush (1987) and Del Palmer (1987 and 2009)- amateur!

[MisterBlue24]

@tadge72 Oh really? Well you assume too much! I'm a lot older than you think; have travelled all around the world, and I did meet Kate back in 1994. So bite me. Your sarcastic tone suggest you're the one with issues, not I.
