Very odd for this day and age indeed - brings back memories of just happening across releases in record stores rather than hearing about them months in advance online.
In other news, I really like her Leonard Cohen cover for 'Bad Sisters' - great show btw

I'm excited by the box set, though I think it falls outside the budget. Despite being a pretty big fan, I haven't really deep dived b-sides/ rarities outside of the 4 track demos and the Peel sessions.

This release and the new album coming out have gotten me on a PJH run. I've buy this release on at least CD.
Just picked up TBYML Demos on vinyl for a healthy discount. The other ones I want that I don't have are ITD? and LES. I'll wait out for discounts on them as well.

Totally agree yeah, more LES, less Hope is definitely what i want too, she lost me on Hope, I tried it again and again but it stubbornly refuses to grab me and I otherwise like everything she's done so that upsets me to no end.
I quite like that new song so far, fingers crossed.

This is encouraging.
I like this. Second listen got me. My first thoughts were like White chalk with guitars and a beat out of the quieter tracks from ITD. But this has a new space to it... and depth.
I've got to say, I loved the wheel when that single came out, and I was excited for the album. The tour was great, in a theatrical kind of way, and gave me a new appreciation of Hope 6. But now I hardly put it on.
LES? I still play that a couple of times a year.

Neither of these songs seem terribly memorable but it doesn't change the fact that PJ is an incredible artist.

I think they'll age fine, they're just not on par with her A and A+ material.
This record might turn out to be a minor work in her discography - doesn't mean she isn't fucking amazing.
