Hounds Of Love [Baskerville Edition] [Limited Vinyl]

Limited Baskerville Edition (2018 Remaster): an illustrated gatefold, containing a black vinyl LP of the album with entirely new artwork by Glasgow-based design studio Timorous Beasties. Inside the gatefold is a LED light (details below).

Kate Bush has delivered on her promise of ‘special presentations’ of her classic 1985 album Hounds of Love with three new editions.

The Baskerville Edition is a gatefold vinyl presentation with entirely new artwork by Glasgow-based design studio Timorous Beasties (who delivered some of the illustrations for Before The Dawn). Inside the gatefold is a LED light (“little light…shining”) which doesn’t require batteries since it’s powered via a solar panel on the rear of the product! This edition uses the same 2018 remaster as the recently announced black and coloured vinyl reissues.

The other two editions actually split the album in half. The Boxes of Lost At Sea Edition consists of two boxes, each containing one side of the album. Each disc features a UV printed illustration on white vinyl and a battery powered LED light.

Kate says: “The idea was to create a hybrid of an album and a piece of artwork you could hang on the wall. They’re based on something I designed for an auction for the charity War Child”. (In 1993 Brian Eno asked Kate to contribute to an auction for War Child, and she came up with the idea of two identical box frames, each containing a flashing red LED with text on brass plaques).

All three new editions of Hounds of Love are now released via The State51 Conspiracy.

• The Boxes of Lost at Sea are wall-mountable art boxes.

• Lost at Sea - Box A contains a UV printed single-sided white vinyl LP, side A of the album.

• Lost at Sea - Box B contains a UV printed single-sided white vinyl LP, side B of the album.

• The braille versions of Lost at Sea have the brass plaque text encoded in braille.
