PJ Harvey has announced a vinyl reissue of her cult third album To Bring You My Love as part of her ongoing reissue series. It marks the third instalment following previous reissues of Dry and Rid of Me. Set to arrive September 11th.
To Bring You My Love, celebrated its 25th anniversary back in February. The remastered version of the album was cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and supervised by long-time PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish.
UMC/Island and Beggars’ PJ Harvey reissue campaign aims to “celebrate every aspect of Harvey’s recording career and afford a comprehensive and exciting look at the evolution of one of the most singular and extraordinary artists of modern times.”
You can pre-order the reissue of PJ Harvey’s 1992 debut Dry, 1993’s Rid of Me and To Bring You My Love here.
To celebrate the announcement of the release, Harvey has shared a raw demo of ‘Down By the Water’. It doesn’t sway too much from the album version, but it’s a completely compelling listen.

“I think at the end of the day it came down to the fact that we were both fiercely creative people, each too self-absorbed to ever be able to inhabit the same space in any truly meaningful way,” Cave explained.
“We were like two lost matching suitcases, on a carousel going nowhere.”
