The Whole Story is a compilation album by the English singer Kate Bush. Released in 1986, it was Bush's third UK number one album as well as her best selling release, being certified 4× Platinum in the UK.[4]
The album included a previously unreleased track entitled "Experiment IV" which was released as a single and reached the UK Top 30, as well as a new version of Bush's first hit, "Wuthering Heights", featuring newly recorded vocals.
A home video compilation also called The Whole Story was released at the same time. It includes the videos for all of the songs on the album (in the same order), plus the video for "The Big Sky", a song from Hounds of Love which is not included on the compilation album. The video for "Wow" on this release features excerpts from Bush's 1979 live tour, which differs from the original promotional video.
