About this product
This is the 2010 United States reissue of Aerial, the eighth album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, on two compact discs from Columbia with catalogue number 88697 75208 2, released on 24 August 2010.[1] It followed the album's first iTunes release in May 2010 and, like it, plays the second disc as one track, retitled An Endless Sky of Honey, with the part titles merged into a single word on the sleeve.[2] The first disc holds the seven songs of A Sea of Honey; the second runs 42 minutes without track markers.[3] The recording is credited to Kate Bush trading as Noble and Brite, with Columbia as exclusive US licensee, and the discs were glass mastered by Sony DADC in Terre Haute.[1]
The collectors' discography lists it as the US "An Endless Sky Of Honey" reissue, between the 2005 original and the Fish People reissue of 2011.[4] Wikipedia credits the reissue to Sony Legacy, while the release itself names Columbia.[2] It replaced the original US issue of November 2005, and from 2011 Bush reissued her albums on her own label, Fish People.[2]
