In my opinion this recording is a contender for worst cover version of all time , certainly of this iconic song .
Taken from Top of The Pops album Vol 65 released in 1978, TOTP was a series of albums released in the UK from the late 60`s through to the early 80`s. The albums were cheap and included cover versions of current hits rather than the original versions.
Images in video are Volume 1 through to volume 65.
Sit back and enjoy !
Take away the big budget production, the passion of the Bush, and what do you get? It's strange, because all the parts are there but somehow it's just not cutting it. When Kate Bush first came along her singing sounded bizarre and made people laugh in a world that had heard nothing like it before. But you soon got past that and it became beautiful and moving. Kate's gets me every time. This version is just... well, bad really but I guess you have to give them a small credit for trying.

Now that I have compared this cover with the one of the BB Cover Band on my own channel, I have to admit that this version is real bad. That will say, the voice is bad....Music is outstanding by the way!

No, hold on I've compared them.
This one actually is worse. It's close though.
