Description

Rid Of Me is PJ Harvey’s visceral second album — a raw, uncompromising statement that marked her major label debut and cemented her reputation as one of the most fearless voices in alternative music. This 180g heavyweight vinyl reissue is cut by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service under the guidance of Steve Albini, who also produced the original recording. The pressing includes a printed inner sleeve and an MP3 download code for high-resolution WAV files.

Recorded in just two weeks, the album captures Harvey’s trio at its most feral and dynamic, with Albini’s signature dry, abrasive sound pushing the performances to the edge. From the whisper-to-scream intensity of the title track to the twisted swagger of “50ft Queenie” and the haunting cover of Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited,” Rid Of Me is a sonic exorcism of desire, rage, and vulnerability. The reissue remains faithful to the original artwork and packaging, preserving the album’s stark visual and emotional impact.
