The planned release date was the 4th November 1977 but this was delayed to January 20 1978 "because of Kate's insistence to change sleeve design". Whilst most releases have (P) 1977, the actual release date for the Wuthering Heights/Kite single was 20th January 1978. “Wuthering Heights” was released as Kate Bush’s debut single and lead single from her debut album, The Kick Inside (1978).
