Kate Bush come through with a new album to The Other Side, the release of a 4-disc rarities collection. For the first time, she’s also officially released the video for her 1991 cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” The rarities set, first compiled for last year’s 18-LP catalog reissue, arrives March 8.

It also features her takes on Elton’s “Candle In The Wind” and George and Ira Gershwin’s “The Man I Love,” rarities from films including The Golden Compass and Nic Roeg’s Castaway, and previously unreleased early demo “Humming.”

Writing about the “Rocket Man” cover on her website, Bush says:

I remember buying this when it came out as a single by Elton John. I couldn’t stop playing it – I loved it so much. Most artists in the mid seventies played guitar but Elton played piano and I dreamed of being able to play like him….

I wanted to make it different from the original and thought it could be fun to turn it into a reggae version. It meant a great deal to me that they chose it to be the first single release from the album.

That meant I also had the chance to direct the video which I loved doing – making it a performance video, shot on black and white film, featuring all the musicians and… the Moon!
