Having reissued her studio albums over the last few years, PJ Harvey is further digging into her archives to release the 59-track compilation B-sides, Demos and Rarities on November 4 via UMe/Island. It's available as either a 3-CD or 6-LP set, each including liner notes and rare and unseen photos.
The compilations spans PJ Harvey's career, with most of the tracks unavailable physically or digitally for decades. Fourteen of the tracks are either previously unreleased or in previously unreleased versions. You can listen to three songs now: a previously unreleased demo version of "Dry," an unreleased demo of "Missed," and "Somebody's Down, Somebody's Name," which is officially available digitally for the first time. Check those out, along with the artwork and tracklist, below.
In other news, Polly is working on a new album, and recently covered Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire" for the Bad Sisters soundtrack.
Pick up lots of PJ Harvey vinyl in the BV shop.
