| | Wuthering Heights Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Kate's nod to Emily Bronte's classic romance novel. (More specifically, the ending, where Cathy comes back as a spirit to claim Heathcliff's soul.) | |
| | Running time: 4:26 | |
| | Kite Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Feeling rooted to the ground, a girl takes to the sky as a kite (but I've always thought it was a thinly veiled drug use metaphor). | |
| | Running time: 3:00 | |
| | Etc: Two versions of this sleeve exist. The orange one printed on matte paper shown above, and a yellow/orange one with a glossy finish (shown here). (Sleeve scan and information courtesy of Bart.) | |
| | Etc2: The rear sleeve shows the Kick Inside LP cover with a list of the song titles. The headline translates to "a long LP of listening pleasure". | |
| | Etc3: The bottom right corner also has a small ad encouraging people to "test their talent" and send a demo tape to EMI Holland! |
