I'm sure it's no Truth & Beauty though :)

As a matter of interest Mark, what's the word-count of your book, roughly?

500,000, give or take. Don't think Uncommon is intended to be another Truth and Beauty, and I'm sure there'll be certain aspects where it'll beat it hands down. The two books set out to achieve very different things, though.

Can someone who uses twitter ask when they're going to put up the next podcast where they discuss the ''Lost Tape'' of Pulp footage? Think it was meant to be up last week.

That was a quick response!

"Soon as the director is recovered enough from crunch time mastering the disc to record an intro. I'm on the case!"

Cool...they must be frantic busy then getting the last bits of the DVD ready before it goes on sale.

Frantic indeed...release has been put back a week to the first of June.

However they've put up a pic of the signed posters that they're giving away. Looks ace! (Anyone recognise the scrawled signatures on the right? Looks like Steve at the top, hard to see if it's Nick or Russell's below). Mark's sig reminds me of his notes in early editions of PulpPeople :)

 

At the end of last week, on their last day of preparation in Sheffield, whilst packing up their gear for their 2011 tour, all the members of Pulp (Jarvis, Russell, Candida, Nick, Steve and Mark) were kind enough to spare some of their precious time to sign some of the film posters (see above closeup image note the Jarvis graffiti).

Quick update - the DVD's have arrived.  Here's a photo - 

Fanfare_package_med-1.jpg

Have to say the packaging is stunning.  Beautiful layouts by Designers Republic, slightly glossed cover, 24 page full colour booklet.

Eve Wood's on Radio 6 on Tuesday's Radcliff and Maconie show to talk about the movie.  We're discussing possible directors chat afterwards but it's gonna come down to interest so if this is something you fancy let us know.

That does indeed look pretty marvellous.

Right, let's see if anyone's as much of a geek as me. Towards the end of the little Youtube clip of Chesterfield that's on the Beat Is the Law website, there's a tiny bit of the start of There's No Emotion. You might notice that the keyboard sound on this bit is notably different from either the record or other live versions from the same period. Can anyone hazard a guess as to why this might be?

Cannot fucking wait for this like. Just rewatched the first documentary- man, how I wish I'd been making music in Sheffield at that time. Who wouldn't?! After seeing this and reading Sturdy's book it feels like I know quite a bit about the Sheffield scene in the 80s and early 90s, can anyone recommend any other books/films to watch/websites to visit on the subject? Might be playing a gig at the Leadmill in a few months, I'm gonna be like some little fan boy. Hope it's still a good venue.

Maybe its just the fact that we havent heard a clear version of Theres No Emotion live, and obviously when at a gig - you can hear the clarity of the instruments better

Sounds like the Casiotone...? Farfisa was in for repairs and they brought that along instead...?

Close enough! The long version is that at the gig before the Chesterfield one (Limit Club 7 May '85), the Farfisa packed in and they handed it over to John Nicholls from Dig Vis Drill (also an occasional poster on this board and recorder of the Sudan Gerri tape) to have a look cos he was good at electronics and suchlike. He couldn't do anything with it as it turned out, so he lent them his Crumar Multiman S synth while they sent the Farfisa back to Italy to get it fixed up. Hence the slightly different sound on this clip and indeed the Little Girl EP. It's mentioned in passing in Truth & Beauty p120 - from memory I thought I'd gone into slightly more detail than that but guess I must have edited it out because it was all a bit too geeky even for me!

Jeez!! They sent the Farfisa to Italy for repairs?? Candida must seriously love that keyboard. For a band living on the dole, that must have cost them a fair bit to do!

Yeah, that's what John thought anyway! Unless they were just able to separate the offending component and just send that back or something.

Yeah...that would sound more likely. The organ weighs about 60lbs+, and to send that abroad safely would be ridiculously pricey (and risky).

The winners of the signed poster content were just announced on The Beat is the Law's website... and I think there's a few members of this forum among the lucky people. At the very least, one person I'm sure of.;)
