Record Collector #588 puts Kate Bush centre stage as she nears her 50th anniversary in music.

The October 2026 issue (on sale from 3 September) counts down Bush's 50 best songs and unearths a rarely-seen 1985 interview via Kris Needs, alongside a look back at 35 years of Seattle grunge and a deep dive into Brussels' finest 45s.
