Icon.

I'll have a play of Broken English later.

 

[Shirley]

Always loved THIS version of THIS

 

[lolly]

...and a Mars bar

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

BANGER

 

[Suedehead]

The whole album is a classic and the cover is iconic

 

[C’est la VoR]

All things considered, it's pretty impressive that she got to 78.

I post this all the time, but it's such a FILTHY TREAT



A more (relatively) recent favourite, written with Jarvis Cocker

 

[C’est la VoR]

Love this from the pre-Heroin days too. It's so subtly camp.



"Oh THANK GOD, AT LAST and FINALLY!"

Urgh what an icon.

Broken English was an undeniable classic and an absolute stonking comeback.

I was always fond of the album PJ Harvey and Nick Cave wrote for her (post break up, not awkward at all) - Before The Poison.

One more:

 

[octophone]

Well, bollocks.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

All about Broken English- I found two vinyl copies in Sweden recently dirt cheap and kept one, giving another to my #vinylsanta, who seemed rather appreciative. Will give it a spin tomorrow.

[untilted]

Oh this is a sad one

 

[KNT]

What a LEGEND.

I love her reading of this:

 

[BoysForSeles]

Sad news, it’s the ‘Before The Poison’ album I know best and enjoyed as well as the classic singles.

[VV]

Another good voice gone forever. RIP
