Recommendations
Reviews
Great release. Yes, outta the sleeve you can hear some clicks, but mostly on A1/B1 and barely distracting. B7 had a persistent "tchic" noise every other revolution. It doesn't appear to be something widespread, though.
As for the mastering, it simply delivers. It's as lo-fi as it should be, but with a lot more clarity than one would expect.
Pretty solid, easy recommendation for PJ Harvey's fans.
Would love to have additional info here, though. And to have the signed poster would be amazing, as well (I bought it on November 2022 and my copy as expected didn't come with it, it didn't have a hype sticker as well).

Edifier S2000 Pro
Edited 4 years agoVery good pressing. Pretty silent and noise free vinyl with only minor plops between songs
Some of Pollys best songs on here, it's a raw and wild recording. Personal opinion: the 12" cover deserves to win the prize for the sexiest album of the 90s!
Weirdly enough the demos seem less Lo fi than i Remember them on my old original CD!
