Even though I liked this track when it came out, it also felt a bit like 'paint by numbers' from KB. People can be forgiven for maybe saying there's no tune and no hook. I somewhat suspected that it went something like this..

"So Kate, we're putting out a 'best of' album, is there another track you have that we could release as a single and put on there for the KB fans?"
"No, but I'm free tomorrow and could go in the studio to put something together on the Fairlight. Nige and Alan are about so maybe they can help."

In actual fact, here I am over 35 years later and what seemed then like a glossy meandering 'something-or-other' now comes over as a hypnotic, mesmering feast of production, originality and subtlety.
Wasted on the inattentive listeners out there. So much going on in it when you pay attention.

As usual with these 12" singles from EMI at the time, the pressing and sound quality is so nice.

Anyone know who did this house / prog house / trance remix (from 1995). Been hunting for 25 years now and NOBODY knows.

The "New Vocal" mix of Wuthering Heights is much more than just that.

Horrible mid-80's reverberated drums pound, and the ethereal atmosphere of the original song is destroyed.

A muddy, bloated mess. Avoid like the plague.

I think DWBMA is the same as the original 7" but is different from the version on the Moments of Pleasure CD single, which has a fuller brighter mix. (I could be wrong)
