hehe, dont say that, you know what we gonna ask for now ! (how did you get it by the way if that's asking too much ?)
Here's an idea for Pulp if they're reading: take those two songs (cuckoo, quiet revolution) and include them on a new album. They need to be released properly.
Ive nearly the full demo, just missing Darren and Birds In Your Garden - the demo for Wickerman is far superior to the released version too - Scott Walker really did fuck up We Love Life with some tracks, but others he saved.
Quiet Revolution just would not fit on We Love Life - maybe released as a B Side, I dont know - some songs didnt deserve to be shelved.......look at After You, Cuckoo, Quiet Rev........ yet they released things like Weeds 2, I Love Life and Weeds..........go figure.
That's fantastic, cheers. I actually like Pulp drenched in reverb - makes me think of HnH (:
Yeah but after all these years imagining what they would sound like, i thought it'b more natural sounding, closer to the live performances we got. Oh well, it's still amazing.

The whole demo has an electro / acoustic sound to it - sunriise is unrecognisable to its released counterpart. I think the demo blows the live version away
Someone leaked After You and My Mistake here a couple of years back, and they had that electro/ acoustic vibe you mention.
I just listened to WLL again few mins ago and though i prefer it now than when it was released, i must say the direction the demos where heading to were much more interesting, but it would have been a poppier album, and i dont think they wanted that.
My Mistake and After You were leaked from someone either IN the band or assotiated with the band - shame that the person got harrased to fuck and bombarded with negativity etc - Trixy i think the person was called......
I adore My Mistake - its on my ipod alot lol. I dont think the album would have been "pop" with After You, Cuckoo etc - they wanted a natural feel to the album, and they fucked around with that bleeding sample from Trees for ages, it was used in the Walker Meltdown festival which I had once, no idea where its gone. If only they concentrated on the album as much as that one ........ sigh !!!
Weeds, Origin, and I love Life ruin the album for me.

Hey Scott, I don't check this board often enough except when filling out discography information or hoping missing or new songs have leaked, but this is possibly one of the greatest things to have been put out for the Pulp fans on the Bar Italia boards in years.
Even though I downloaded My Mistake and After You when Trixy put them up (and then was yelled at) and have already heard the Cuckoo Song many times before from the live copy and that 30 second except, this is truly a Merry Christmas indeed. I love this song. It's so great to hear a proper demo of it. Thank you so much!
I think there was a person who wrote in length about the Cuckoo Song on their blog a while back and was seeking after the demo version, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I hope they find their way to this mp3 as well.
