Another nice record store run. A classic PJ Harvey album and of course another Elvis Costello find. Turns out this Rid of Me pressing is an 'unofficial pressing' but still sounds great and is a cool white marble so I'm happy enough.

Thanks Rollin' Records Boise.

#GreatAlbums - #1990s - #PJHarvey – #RidOfMe (1993). PJ Harvey (still a band at this point) intensifies the grit heard on debut, Dry, with Steve Albini behind the glass. Harvey’s emotional exorcism scorches the irony of titles like “Rid of Me,” “Legs,” “Rub ‘til it Bleeds, “Man-Size” as the blues crash into punk. The cover of Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” is more cathartic than reverent – the main impulse on this dark gem of an album.

#GreatAlbums1990s - #PJHarvey – #RidOfMe (1993). PJ eschews the trio format to expand her sonic range and deepen her commitment to the spirit of blues. While the approach makes tracks like “C’mon Billy,” “Long Snake Moan,” and “Down by the Water” highlights of Harvey’s catalogue, the increasing mannerisms of her vocals risk putting the performances on the edge of camp – an issue she’d resolve with later albums.
