My first, I think that year as well, was Hawkwind in Wolverhampton. First time on mushrooms as well. Delicious

I got this cassette from Steve Albini’s estate sale. Tracks that PJ Harvey sent him when he engineered Rid Of Me in 93. 4 tracks taped over a Suede LP. Couple of them unreleased versions. I used to live down the block from Shellac’s first rehearsal space and was lucky to have some prime Albini encounters from 95 to 97 ish. I really love what a sweetheart he became in later life after being the ultimate edgelord earlier on. I liked the edgelord as well though. RIP. Polly Harvey is the best
PJ Harvey played Burnley in the early/mid 90s, all the band’s gear got nicked.
I had a mate who unknowingly bought her guitar, a Gretsch that apparently she was given by her dad and she learned to play on. He only found out it was hers years later, when she mentioned it in an interview, and ended up giving it back to her (I think he sent it to the NME, or something).

Wow, that’s a mad one. Glad she got it back
Got it! Can’t wait to spin it later/tomorrow. I’m purposefully avoiding listening to it digitally as I want the first full listen to be on big speakers.
