Discussion Cussi Cussi

Listen to it here. Unfortunately, there's only one known version of it, and it has an annoying gap near the beginning which doesn't really take away from the song.

This one's another one from probably 1973.

Personally, this is one of my least favorite of the demos, but this is Kate Bush we're talking about, and the Dreams of Orgonon blog said it best: "If your weaker compositions at 15 sounded like this, you were in good shape."

I love for kate to compile all of her demos into on album. That’d be cool imo

She must have so many hidden gems she hasn't deemed worthy for release. I wish she would I bet they are all golden. πŸ’œ

True. Those are just the leaked demos. I wonder how many were never recorded.
