Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

AMG –
Released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old, The Kick Inside is a mightily impressive debut. Kate Bush’s first album, The Kick Inside, released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old (but featuring some songs written at 15 and recorded at 16), is her most unabashedly romantic, the sound of an impressionable and highly precocious teenager spreading her wings for the first time. The centerpiece is “Wuthering Heights,” which was a hit everywhere except the United States (and propelled the Emily Brontë novel back onto the best-seller lists in England), but there is a lot else here to enjoy: The disturbing “Man with the Child in His Eyes,” the catchy rocker “James and the Cold Gun,” and “Feel It,” an early manifestation of Bush’s explorations of sexual experience in song, which would culminate with “Hounds of Love.” As those familiar with the latter well know, she would do better work in the future, but this is still a mightily impressive debut.
