3rd full album by PJ Harvey released 5 months after her successful follow-up studio album Rid of Me (May '93) is released through Island Records and produced by PJ Harvey. The album features 14 tracks of Harvey's own "4-Track Demo" recordings made in her home from 1991 to '92, eight of which had their full studio versions on Rid of Me, whereas the rest remain otherwise unreleased.
The album is a fine document of Harvey's own musical skills and her taste for the raw and unpolished style.
