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: This is the 3rd of three different versions of the Spain sleeve. All are very similar; only the graphics vary. (Sleeve scan courtesy of Bart.)
Etc2: And here is a look at all 3 versions side by side. (As you'll see, they're all practically identical.)
Etc3: Unlike all of its European counterparts, this sleeve uses one of Gered Mankowitz's "leotard" photos shot for EMI in January, 1978. (Here are a few more shots from the same session...)
