Retro Tune of the Day: Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)"

Possibly Kate's most widely known single, "Running Up That Hill..." was the first single released from her Hounds of Love album in 1985.  It has been covered several times by the likes of Placebo and the gender-bending postmodern cabaret duo Kiki & Herb.

This was Kate's highest charting in the U.S., reaching #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1985 (this was Kate's very first 12" remix) Here is a new mix I recently discovered, breathing a little new life into an old favorite....hope you enjoy!
