P J Harvey* – Rid Of Me

Perhaps the best-sounding PJ Harvey album in of sound quality, the dynamic range is enormous, the sound is raw, and the production is exquisite. It's undoubtedly one of her best albums.

I agree with the comments about the Albini technique on the title track opening. I was standing right in front of my speakers fiddling with the volume and EQ trying to hear the vocals when I was blasted with the wall of sound that hits a couple minutes in. I have a feeling that would be a much better effect on headphones. But other than that, which I'll forgive as an artistic choice rather than a mistake, this record is absolutely outstanding. This is my first time listening to it in any format, so I have nothing to compare it to a far as pressing quality, but it's great. Buy it.

This is one of my favourite albums ever. This particular pressing is fantastic. Even after all these years it still sounds amazing. This is one of my albums I will never part with. Buy this is you come across it......absolute classic.

Outstanding record. Dead quiet pressing, excellent mastering. The original recoding is more of a raw energy release, but this mastering takes that and expands several notches into a dynamic hifi record. If you like the CD you owe it to yourself to grab this.

Did anyone notice side B label has mispelled "58 FT Queenie" ?
I have this unofficial version with correct spelling allround (but with "58Ft"). Sounds nice.

Look for 25 euro this is a steal. I am lucky enough to have an original press and although alot more dynamic and with a much better sound stage is it worth a 100 quid over this.... perhaps so if you are a collector. Saying that if I didn't have the OG press I would say that this reissue is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

A guess is that this version is in fact a german or dutch pressing, while the other 1993 european pressing, with a die cut inner which is typical for the UK, is a UK pressing. My personal copy was purchased new (although not by me) in the Netherlands in 1993.

Amazing songs, performance, and mixing. This is album is a fucking monster.

Wow, what an astounding release. Quiet vinyl, dynamic recording with great vinyl mastering. The streaming files are equally good (dr14).

Rock solid pressing. Dead quiet! Dynamically it sounds great. Albini's mix shines and this press does it no disservice!
