** In the years since ''The Red Shoes'' released, Bush expressed dissatisfaction with the album, singling out the use of digital recording equipment for making it sound too "edgy." Because of this, Bush re-recorded seven of its twelve songs[[note]]"Song of Solomon", "Lily", the TitleTrack, "Moments of Pleasure", "Top of the City", "And So Is Love", and "Rubberband Girl"[[/note]] on analog tape for ''Director's Cut''; the collector's edition of that album additionally included a remastered version of ''The Red Shoes'' sourced from an analog backup tape.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Throughout the '80s and '90s, a large amount of UsefulNotes/{{Whovians}} believed that Bush wrote the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serials [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E3Kinda "Kinda"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E2Snakedance "Snakedance"]], owed to their unusually cerebral nature and the fact that the name attached to them, "Christopher Bailey," wasn't credited with much else in the way of TV work, leading people to believe it was a pseudonym. This was eventually debunked when Bailey turned out to be an actual person, granting interviews in 2002 and 2011.
