Product Information

It's a dream come true, the quality of the vinyl and the box is good. The songs (I think all) were transferred from the original tapes. The records play great, in fact some songs are quite loud compared to other vinyl records.

I hadn’t written that many, maybe 5 or 6, and would sit down and play them to any friend that would care to listen. I had always collected words and phrases in a notebook, so when my mum bought me an acoustic guitar that a friend of hers was selling, it felt natural to try and sing the words I had saved, and that’s how it began.

C1: Recorded in Townhouse Three, Battersea, September/October 1994 / B-Side to Down By The Water, 1995 If reinvention is a virtue, Harvey is a saint. The box set presides over three plus hours of archival material, featuring PJ Harvey from every era, every style, and in every persona. Long-time followers of PJ Harvey will recognize this important distinction; her ability to transform herself places Harvey in the rarified air as one of music’s true masterminds. Nearly every PJ Harvey album manifests a different auditory and lyrical chimera. This is not to say Harvey is a chameleon – never does she disappear into her surroundings; she’s the 50-ft queenie ruling the kingdom.

Personally, I'd love to see both: actually unreleased songs (of which PJ Harvey has plenty of) and an official live record, as it is live where some of her songs take their final form (Driving, M-Bike, Hardly wait, Evol, Uh huh her) - there's also songs and covers she's only performed live like Will's song, Straight, Shake your hips, Shot of love and more.It’s quite a journey. By the end it’s clear that Harvey has learned how to turn the volume up by making less noise. Perhaps she always knew. One of the highlights is “Nina In Ecstasy 2”, a 1996 recording, released as a B-side in 1999. It’s a funereal fairytale, a hymn of innocence which segues into a chorus of “ Where’s your mama gone?” from the multi-million-selling anthem of child abandonment, “Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep”.
