losing ground

It's rare that i get a press release in my inbox that really gets my attention, but this one is about PJ Harvey, so obviously it got me excited. Here it is:

PJ Harvey - The Peel Sessions 1991 - 2004 will be released, in conjunction with the BBC, by Island Records on 31st October 2006.

Harvey joins a list of artists including Pulp, House of Love and Siouxsie and the Banshees whose Peel Sessions will be released for the first time, during a month of commemorative events, to mark the second anniversary of the inspirational broadcaster's death. Available on CD and vinyl formats, the twelve tracks, chosen by Polly Harvey, span her career - from early versions of the songs on debut album Dry (1992) to her seventh album Uh Huh Her, released in 2004.
Harvey recorded many sessions with John Peel over the years. 'John loved the sessions and was thrilled to have Polly record so many for his show. He considered her a wonderful artist and they were great friends. It's fantastic that they're coming out on CD. I think he'd be very proud.' Louise Kattenhorn - Producer, The John Peel Show
