Dry - Demos

The sound is really bad on this lp. Muffled and static sounding. Cleaned stylus then played a different album. The other lp sounded fine. I listened to this on itunes before i bought on vinyl. Its sounding great on iTunes but this vinyl sounds horrendous. No visible imperfections on the vinyl itself. I hope the other reissues dont sound this way on vinyl ☹️ Im a huge PJ Harvey fanEdit- of above comments...repeatedly playing the lp seems to have cleaned 🧹 up the sound...I’m so happy

I've never met a "casual" PJH fan, and I hope I never do, so if you're reading this you're probably the kind of person who would appreciate hearing these songs in a stripped down and intimate arrangement. I put my headphones on and can imagine I'm being treated to a living room performance. Truth be told, Dry has never been my favorite PJH album but this one to me is a gem from beginning to end.

These demo versions of the songs on Dry were like buried treasure until now! The only official release was a bonus disc, Demonstration, that was part of an extremely limited edition of Dry back in 1992. Since then, the only way to hear these tracks if you weren't one of the fortunate 1,000 owners of Demonstration was on taped copies-of-copies-of-copies or bootlegs...and more recently through MP3 sharing or YouTube. Not anymore!Essential for any PJ Harvey fan.

I really love Dry. It can be a bit weird as a guy since it's so feminine, but damn if it doesn't draw me in every time. I think a lot of guys in US too scared to listen to feminine music, which is a shame, cause this miss stuff like this.

I already have several PJ Harvey albums on CD, including Dry. Her demo albums are a wonderful change of pace and sound amazing on vinyl. Its like hearing her for the first time again.

I’ve waited forever for remastered copies these amazing early albums of PJ Harvey. Bravo!!!!Too bad they didn’t take better care packaging it. My records had creased corners.

This is how a Goddess records demos. Listening to them is a revelation.

PJ is sure one of the greats!!!
