This Woman's Work: Anthology 1978–1990


This Woman's Work: Anthology 1978–1990 is a compilation box set by the English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. Released in 1990 on CD, vinyl and cassette; it comprises her six studio albums to that point together with two additional albums of B-sides, rarities and remixes. The box set was re-released on CD only in 1998 in different packaging.
The two rarities discs are entitled This Woman's Work: Volume One and This Woman's Work: Volume Two, and have never been released as albums separately from the box set.
Although publicised as a complete collection of Bush's works up to 1990, many tracks released during this time are missing from this collection including the Single Version Remix of "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", the Single Edit remix of "Wow", the dead-end version of "Army Dreamers" which featured on "The Whole Story" album, "Dreamtime", "Sat in Your Lap ", "Running Up that Hill ", "The Big Sky ", "The Sensual World ", "The Confrontation" from the "Love and Anger" single and the Single Version Mix of "This Woman's Work". Various songs featured in films were also omitted, notably "The Magician", from the film The Magician of Lublin.
The set was not released in the US, mainly due to The Sensual World being released there by Columbia Records.
