Description
The breath before the first yelp in Sheela-Na-Gig tells you how close these takes really are. PJ Harvey’s Dry - Demos (LP) strips the 1992 debut back to its bones, all home-recorded grit and intent. Dress arrives with a wiry guitar pulse and a tougher, more immediate vocal, and Plants and Rags lands like a private sketchbook page, strings rougher but the mood locked in.
This pressing gives the songs room to breathe, with space around Polly’s voice that the old CD never quite had. Transients snap cleanly, so every pick stroke and snare tick hits just right. It sits neatly alongside early 90s indie that prized sharp edges and candor, think Throwing Muses more than stadium alt-rock.
Spin it on a quiet Melbourne evening and you hear the blueprint for the band versions forming in real time. Water’s churn is more hypnotic without the full kit, and the clipped guitar in Oh My Lover feels newly confessional rather than confrontational. If you’d rather order online, you can buy PJ Harvey records online with us.
For fans who came in later, this is a smart way to trace the arc back to where the songwriting first sparked, and for long-timers it’s a satisfying, revealing companion to Dry. Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
