PJ Harvey: Fry (1992)

 


PJ's first record is a cracker. Wikipedia reports the following:

Speaking to Filter magazine in 2004, Harvey said of her debut album: "Dry is the first chance I ever had to make a record and I thought it would be my last. So, I put everything I had into it. It was a very extreme record. It was a great joy for me to be able to make it. I never thought I'd have that opportunity, so I felt like I had to get everything on it as well as I possibly could, because it was probably my only chance. It felt very extreme for that reason." [source]

First pressings come at a premium now. I bought this on CD back in the day. I should have purchased the vinyl.
