The demos of PJ Harvey’s Mercury Music Prize-winning album Let England Shake will be issued on CD and vinyl early next year, along with a vinyl reissue of the original 2011 studio album.
This continues Harvey’s reissue series and this collection of unreleased demos features every track from her eighth studio album, including ‘The Words That Maketh Murder’, ‘The Glorious Land’ and ‘The Last Living Rose’.
The cover features brand new artwork – a drawing by Polly – and the package includes previously unseen photos by Seamus Murphy. As always, the mastering is by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering, under the guidance of longtime PJ Harvey producer John Parish.
You know the drill by now: the studio album proper is reissued on vinyl but not on CD. Both vinyl editions come with download codes. By the time these reissues come out the album will be just short of 11 years old.
Let England Shake – Demos and Let England Shake are reissued on 28 January 2022.
