Kate Bush is set to release her first live record - it's a three-disc collection recorded at her monumental 2014 residency Before The Dawn.
Bush's shows - a whopping 22 at the Hammersmith Apollo in London - were her first in 35 years, so it's no wonder this'll be her first live record. By all accounts they were magical, but if you didn't catch her in the flesh, now's your chance to glimpse the wonder that Bush presented.
The three-act performances have been put to disc, with each disc containing one full act.
