Favourite "Deluxe" tracks...
Permalink  
 


I'm sure we're all aware of the b-sides, demos etc that were included on the Deluxe editions of HnH, DC and TiH. So what I'd like to know, not counting the 'proper' album tracks obviously, which are your top 10 faves?

I'd say, in no particular order:


1. Seconds - without a doubt the finest Pulp b-side
2. Your Sister's Clothes - Sister's Ep was bloody wonderful
3. Watching Nicky - why wasn't this at the very least a b-side?!
4. Live On - another lost classic, ma-ma-mamma
5. Don't Lose It - catchy as hell! DO IT!
6. Mile End - a given, surely
7. Cocaine Socialism - lyrically better than Glory Days
8. The Professional - sounds even seedier than Hardcore... my 12 year old self shouldn't have been listening to this!
9. Hardcore End of the Line - shame it's cut, but nevertheless it's gorgeous (I'm a sucker for Anne Dudley)
10. Frightened - very 80s Pulp, I like Jarv in melodramatic mode

And I had to miss His N' Hers AND Street Lites. Harsh.

Pip? You're 12?

My list is not terribly different. I'll just copy yours and make a few adjustments.

1. Seconds - kinda goes without saying 
2. Your Sister's Clothes - see above
3. Catcliffe Shakedown - I love this song and can't believe it hasn't caused riots on this board.
3. Street Lites - the duel vocals make the song
5. His & Hers - best use of bass on any Pulp song.
5. Mile End - probably Jarv's best lyrics
6. Ladies Man - I love how icy this song is. Kid A was full of this stuff 3 years later.
7. You're Not Blind - another underrated gem.
8. The Boss - the lyrics are a bit pastiche-y, but I like the song for it's energy
9. My Erection - another song ahead of it's time
10. Don't Lose It - gets better with repeat listens

I left The Professional off. It used to be a favourite of mine, but now it seems dated and slapdash.

No, I'm 21 - but I was 12 when I bought the Hardcore single... :)

Catcliff Shakedown makes me want to invent a choreographed dance to.

His N Hers is brilliant (even better in the live performance you can find on youtube...) - & rounding out my other favorites (order unimportant) are
The Professional (sleaze & Jarvis' 'I spy' alter ego at its best),
Street Lites (so hot)
Your Sister's Clothes (sends chills down my spine)
Seconds
& I have a soft spot for Ansaphone...

I haven't heard Don't Lose It and am now badly wanting to!

  • It's a Dirty World
  • Seconds
  • We Can Dance Again
  • Live On
  • Street Operator
  • Cocaine Socialism
  • Ladies' Man
  • Catcliffe Shakedown
  • You're a nightmare
  • Streetlights
  • that's me top ten, been reading a lot about Pulp lately, so that's rekindled my interest quite a lot.

    "Seconds" should have been on the His'n'Hers album I'd say, and I also think its criminal that "It's a Dirty World" didn't make it onto Hardcore...but never mind!

    I've only got the TIH deluxe version, because it's my favorite record and they are so damn expensive. But, in my opinion they didn't put a lot of effort in the tracklist. I mean, they just play the songs and didn't make a correct order. If you put the songs in a different order, there is a better flow in it. It isn't well produced as an whole album. But, hey, it's just bonus disc, not an album.

    It's a shame that they didn't release a We Love Life disc aswell- there are a lot of great tracks from that era.
    I recently got hold of Cuckoo, Quiet rev and other demos so I suppose that I could make my own, but it's not quite the same as an official release with sleeve notes and proper packaging.
    I was expecting Different class to be my favourite deluxe edition, but I ended up playing his'n'hers a lot more- seconds, your sisters clothes, frightened etc.

    We Love Life is fast becoming one of my favorite Pulp albums, I really like the fact that it has some longer songs on, like Wickerman and Sunrise. I'm listening to the Peel Session of Sunrise (disc 1) at the moment, the instrumental at the end is incredible.

    Favorite Deluxe Tracks (in no particular order):
    • His'n'Hers
    • The Boss
    • We Can Dance Again
    • Catcliffe Shakedown
    • Common People live at Glastonbury '95
    • Mile End
    • The Professional
    • Like A Friend
    • Street Operator
    • Cocaine Socialism
    and the Nick Cave pulp rock version of Disco 2000... but that doesnt really count

    Catcliffe Shakedown is quite popular, perhaps I should re-evaluate it...

    Seconds is possibly the best Pulp song. Ever.

    By spending a very large sum of money on the disc.
