The record, which was originally released in 2006, is a collection of Harvey’s sessions with the late BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel. The recordings span from the very beginning of her career in 1991 up until 2004.
The record was released just two years after Peel’s death in 2004 and included a tribute from Harvey to Peel in the album’s linear notes.
It read: “More than I would ever care to admit for fear of embarrassment to both sides, but I sought his approval always. It mattered. Every Peel Session I did, I did for him.
“It is with much love that I chose these songs, in his memory. A way of saying ‘Thank You’, once more. Thank You, John.
The repressing on vinyl will be released on May 28 via UMC/Island and you can pre-order here.
