PJ Harvey’s ‘To Bring You My Love’ And ‘Demos’ Set For Vinyl Reissue
Nominated for Grammy Awards and the Mercury Music Prize, ‘To Bring You My Love’ was also a UK Top 20 smash.
On September 11, PJ Harvey’s third album To Bring You My Love will be reissued on vinyl, alongside an album of previously unreleased demos which will be available on CD, vinyl and digital.
To Bring You My Love was produced by Flood and John Parish. Originally released in February 1995, it celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with a reissue on black heavyweight vinyl. Featuring singles such as ‘Down By the Water’, ‘C’mon Billy’ and ‘Send His Love to Me’, To Bring You My Love originally reached No. 12 in the UK Albums Chart on release and dominated album of the year polls from The New York Times to The Guardian, with nominations for Grammy Awards and The Mercury Music Prize.
The release will be accompanied by full restorations of the videos for ‘Down By The Water’, ‘To Bring You My Love’, ‘C’mon Billy’ and ‘Send His Love to Me’.
To Bring You My Love received wide critical acclaim on release. Affording the album 10/10, Spin said, “This proves beyond a doubt that PJ Harvey is one of the greats”, while The Quietus said, “…such a convincing transformation, you’d swear it was supernatural; her voodoo working at its most powerful” and The Los Angeles Times said, “In the most gripping moments…Harvey speaks with the captivating clarity and force of someone reaching for a final, life-saving anchor.”
