## About <!--about-->
This is the 2011 European reissue of Aerial, the eighth album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, on two compact discs from her own label Fish People, catalogue number FPCD006, released on 25 July 2011.[^discogs][^musicbrainz] Bush re-released Aerial and her other studio albums on Fish People that year.[^wiki] The first disc holds the seven songs of A Sea of Honey; the second, retitled An Endless Sky Of Honey, runs 42 minutes as one track without markers, "reconfigured for the digital world".[^discogs] The sound recording and sleeve are credited to Noble & Brite Ltd., and the discs come in a tri-fold card sleeve with a 24-page booklet.[^discogs]

It follows the 2005 EMI original and the 2010 US Columbia reissue, which already played the second disc as one track; the albums appeared again on Fish People in 2018 in remastered form, with A Sky of Honey restored to nine tracks.[^wiki] Fish People is the record label run by Kate Bush; MusicBrainz dates it from 16 May 2011.[^discogs-fp][^musicbrainz-fp]
