Canadian blue vinyl release

"Symphony in Blue" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush and is the opening track to her second album, Lionheart. It was released as a single in Japan and Canada, where it was second single taken from Lionheart. "Wow" was the second single for the rest of the world.[1]

As with the "Wow" single elsewhere, the Lionheart track "Fullhouse" was used as the B-side for the Japanese single.[2] Its picture sleeve was exclusive to this release. For the Canadian release, the single was issued on blue vinyl[2] in a generic (i.e. non-picture) "Harvest" sleeve, with the Lionheart track "Hammer Horror" used as the B-side ("Hammer Horror" was released as a single in its own right elsewhere in the world, notably the UK). A promotional version featured "Symphony in Blue" on both sides, in 'mono' and 'stereo' form.
