PJ Harvey has rounded up 59 tracks for the compilation B-Sides, Demos and Rarities, which will be released Nov. 4 via UMe/Island as a six-LP, three-CD or digital boxed set. 14 of the selections are either previously unreleased or featured here in previously unreleased versions.
Among them are demos of “Dry” and “Missed,” which are out today, as well as the 1995 B-side “Somebody’s Down, Somebody’s Name,” which is now available digitally for the first time. The collection can be pre-ordered here.
Longtime PJ Harvey producer John Parish supervised the mastering and vinyl cutting for the project, which also features previously unseen photography. This is the final release in a long-running reissue campaign of the Polly Jean Harvey-led group’s full catalog.
Harvey hasn’t released a new studio album since 2015’s The Hope Six Demolition Project, but composed the score for the BBC miniseries The Virtues in 2019. She also released a full-length narrative poem, Orlam, in 2021. Her recent cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Who by Fire” can be found on the original soundtrack album for the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters, which will be out next month.
