This is from my "musical time in the desert" - right after college and before the big Internet boom. I lived in a small town in Texas without access to a decent music store, so I relied upon that which was already in my collection and sought out very little new stuff. The PJ Harvey on Side A is definitely the anomaly of the set.

Strangely, Side B features FIVE cover versions on it.
