A Distant Shore is Tracey Thorn's solo mini-album, released in 1982. Recorded by Pat Hermingham for just £138, the album reached number 2 in the UK Indie chart in 1983. All songs on the album were written by Thorn, except "Femme Fatale" – a cover of the Velvet Underground song. The track "Plain sailing" coupled with "Goodbye Joe" was released as a single in January 1983. The record became a long-term steady seller, especially after she became better known in the duo Everything But The Girl.
