Good heavens!

I don't have Spotify 

Also on YouTube:

 

 

Lush, innit? Must have listened to it at least half a dozen times today.

So beautiful. We drove back from the Jarvis exhibition today, listening to Jarvis in shuffle on Spotify and this came up. I had no idea this had been done. Amazing to have it out in the wild after all these *decades*!

Looking at the credits to this song on Spotify and its credited solely to Jarvis. I wonder would that rule the Pulp demo version out of inclusion on any future reissue? Is there a precedent for a Pulp song released that has written only by Jarvis?

I imagine there must have been songs on TIH written by Jarvis and brought to the group to arrange and play (there is a direct quote from another band member suggesting as much in the BBC Radio 1 doc from 1998) - I imagine stuff like TV Movie and A Little Soul may fall into that category. Everybody got credited of course, ultimately.

What about all that "Let's try and create an atmosphere as if we're in the woods and Candida you're the crunchy leaves and Russell, you're the ominous presence..." etc. shiz? Was that way of writing songs a rare occurrence?
