Fast forward 15 minutes in to get the pre-song banter followed by the song itself. I wonder why the original broadcast edited this out (along with a couple of other songs, Bad Cover Version and DYRTFT? I think - although the latter two did surface later). Makes you think of other Pulp stuff the Beeb are sitting on - footage of We Can Dance Again from the Princes Trust in late '94 for one...
As for this version of Lyndhurst Grove, it's great to hear but it's not really great is it? Presumably they're Hawley's licks on the guitar - I understand that artists like to rearrange the performances of old songs when played live to keep things interesting but this isn't a patch on Russell's original noodling. The keyboards aren't prominent enough and even the vocal performance is a bit flat from Jarvis. If you want the official version it's always there for you I suppose, but it's certainly better than this.
All the same, interesting to hear - finally! And hopefully the beginning of a deluge of hitherto unreleased/broadcast Pulp related material to come over the coming months.
Muh ha ha (rubs hands) - My recording of the full concert is now finally complete!
The BBC usually remove the odd song from broadcasts to foil bootlegers who stick the broadcasts on a CD and sell them for 20 quid at record fairs. They expect that any fan looking at the tracklist on the back of a CD will spot a mile off that it has been ripped from the radio.
That and the fact that they generally edit these down to an hour long slot too these days means something like 'Lyndhurst Grove' - being a little known B-side from 1992 is bound to be left out of the broadcast version.
Not at all - it was rather funny... But I must draw your attention to this quote I read on the NME website just before I read that! ;)
"My hard disk is nearly full up. You start regretting all the stuff you obsessed over in your teenage years because you find that you still know all the catalogue numbers to Jam singles. You think, ooh, I could have given over that valuable storage space to something actually useful, like where my keys are'." (The Sunday Herald, August 2007)
Ha ha quite (: I'm not so far gone as to know catalogue numbers tho'. Or even specific dates, just years. I must admit I used to spend hours reading the discography section of the old Pulp People site, mind!
Awww bloody buggering bugger!! Did anyone rip this gig? The quality is alot better than the current versions out there, and not only that did any one rip Lyndhurst??????
Didn't bother ripping the whole gig again but put this track in the Bar Italia 2006 account for you to stick in place in existing versions of the gig - hopefully completing the set!
