Product Information

H5: Performed, Recorded, Produced and Mixed... in Los Angeles, 1998 / B-Side to You Come Through, 2004 For such an expensive release, it would have been great to have a fairly complete compilation of b sides and rarities, including these missing ones: The collection also features previously unseen archive photography by Maria Mochnacz, with mastering and vinyl cutting by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering under the guidance of long time PJ Harvey producer John Parish.

J6: Recorded, Produced and Mixed... in London, July 2013 / Originally released as a digital single via the charity Reprieve, 2013 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. E1: Performed, Recorded and Produced... in Dorset, May 1996 / Taken from 1998 B-Sides promo-only release D4: Recorded in Woodworm Studios, Oxfordshire, 15th February 1994 and in Dorset, 24th January 1995 / Mixed at Marcus Studios, London, 24th January 1995 / B-Side to That Was My Veil, 1996

I4: Performed, Recorded and Produced... in Dorset, 2002 / ℗2022 PJ Harvey under exclusive license to Universal Music Operations Ltd. / Previously unreleased Polly says, “‘Dry’ was one of the first successful songs I wrote. 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. D1: Recorded in Townhouse Three, Battersea, September/October 1994 / B-Side to Send His Love To Me, 1995 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.

In the United Kingdom, five of Harvey's albums have been certified Silver, one certified Gold and one certified Platinum, [7] amounting to total sales of over 800,000 copies. In the United States, her albums have collectively sold over 1.5 million copies as of 2007, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

On The Go

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. 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”. It sounds both serene and alarming, because sometimes the most dangerous place in
