PJ Harvey Cover songs


Bear in mind, since these are all cover versions, they never received proper recording. Basically they were learned for fun or as filler for gigs. We recorded rehearsals for reference. Once we learned the songs, they weren't recorded again unless it was caught on the occasional live recording. Most were recorded straight to cassette and a couple to vhs. One was a multi-track studio recording which was mixed down to a cassette and it was only a demo for a proper performance that never materialized.

The tracks are nothing special but folks might find them interesting. Don't be misled by multiple files of the same song title. Each one is considerably different from the others.
