Kate Bush (Efteling) - original recording 1978 • TopPop

On 12 May 1978, Dutch broadcaster TROS broadcast a 20 minute Kate Bush television special, directed by Toppop director Rien van Wijk and recorded at the Dutch amusement park the Efteling. On 10 May 1978, the Efteling was ready to open the Haunted Castle, the most expensive attraction it had ever constructed, and they wanted to promote it as much as they could. Ton van der Ven, who designed the castle, appeared in a popular talk show and in April a documentary featuring the Haunted Castle was made by filmmaker Rien van Wijk, who was eager to shoot in the latest attraction before it officially opened. Kate, who just had a big hit with Wuthering Heights, was approached for a television special that would promote both Efteling and her songs. The special was filmed in April, a month before the official opening of the castle. This is the original broadcast of May 12, 1978. The original 16m film is lost; this is a copy of the uMatic version that is the only version left. The Efteling TV Special songs: •
