What's your favourite Pulp/Jarvis B-side?
Permalink  
 

I think Forever In My Dreams might be my favourite, but also love Mile End, Stacks, That Boys Evil, PTA, Seconds and solo: Apparently (although not techically a b side), I found myself looking for God and The loss adjustor.

There's loads I love though, they've done some good b-sides, sometimes better that the album tracks.

Apologies for being so obvious - "Cocaine Socialism" and "Like a Friend"

Oh Lord yes. Possibly my favourite Pulp song there.

Then there's Sheffield Sex City and the Inside Susan trilogy... do those still count as B-sides?

I was going to mention those but think of them as LP tracks now due to the great Intro. Street Lites is superb though. I wondered who Pete Stewart was- his work sounds a lot like Ed Buller. Couldn't find any information on him, unless he's the American producer.

Likewise The Sisters EP.  There are three nailed on best b-sides with His 'n' Hers just about taking the honours IMHO.

The Professional's a great song but I think it worked better as a b side - it was so self referential and knowing that it works better as a b side that the hardcore fans will discover.

I'm probably alone here, but I never felt the love for Sheffield Sex City. Might be that I was so young when I heard it that I found the lyrics a bit intimidating.

somebody actually mentioned That boy's evil. if there's a b-side I hate it must be that.

I always loved the Second class cd, was very happy when I found it long time ago, it made getting to hear the b-sides so much easier in the pre-internet days

If I had to choose one, probably His 'n Hers. Other favorites: Styloroc, Stacks, Street Lites, The Professional...should I be embarrassed that I've always been rather fond of the Motiv8 remix of Common People? I haven't heard Ansaphone in years! Gives me chills to hear it now...

I didn't get Sheffield Sex City when I first heard it either (my virgin ears!) but I've grown to appreciate the majesty

Forever in My Dreams is a great choice. I always loved that in particular. However, I think I'd have to go with 'Ansaphone' as my abolute favourite. I listen to that *a lot*. And I only knew the demo version on the deluxe until this year when I first heard the original b-side in all its keyboard laden glory :)

Slightly off track, as I'm not sure if it's my favourite B-side, but certainly a good one..........

Anyway, I was listening to Ansaphone the other day, and it struck me how hugely outdated the lyrics seem now. Nowdays no one would bother with sending a letter to tell someone their girlfriend is shagging around - it'd probably be all over facebook. And the end of the telephone line has almost become obsolete now we all have mobile phones. Why bother leaving an answerphone message, or worry about whether she is at home and avoiding your calls when you can just text her constantly? And she wouldn't need to have the aggravation of screening calls anymore, but simply ignore or delete your texts. Even having to hang up when the 'wrong' person answers your call is no longer an issue with a mobile. I was almost tempted to have a go at rewriting a 2011 version of Ansaphone, but decided that would make me look like a saddo with too much time on my hands, so you have been spared.

You know, I always felt the same way about Answering Machine by The Replacements - its about the singer Paul being on tour and trying to tell his girlfriend he misses her via the answering machine.... similiarly technologically-outdated but still so beautiful. I suppose songs about texting just wouldn't be quite as heartfelt...

Oh, and as for favorite B-Sides I gotta go with Seconds too. The high parts during the chorus just give me goosebumps. Still kinda wish it was on His n Hers.

Well we've still got Carphone Warehouse, compared to that Ansaphone seems positively cutting edge!

 Maybe I will.  Do you think I could use it to tempt Pulp back into the studio to re-record it? And maybe do a whole new album while they are at it? :)

I like the remixes that actually bear some resemblance to their original counterparts i.e. both of the "A Little Soul" remixes and the Chocolate Layers remix of "Party Hard".

You know what I love? The End of the line mix of this is hardcore - that orchestral piece (possibly written by Anne Dudley - Art of Noise fame) that kicks in before Nick....just astounding - it soars and soars - brilliant bit of music. Possibly one of my all time favs bits of noise.

I'm the opposite. I like the Scott free remix of sunrise. And I like Harcore end of the line although that's more like a excerpt than remix. And to a 15 year old, that Swedish remix of this is hardcore was the cleverest thing ever!

But which version of Like a Friend? I was always torn between the guitar solo epic and the straight from slow to fast version.

Kid Loco remix of A Little Soul... have I heard that? Which single was it on?

 "A Little Soul" CD2 - it's labelled as the Lafayette Velvet Revisited Remix.

Favourite b side? Fucking hell half of Pulp's best songs are b sides. Apart from Joking Aside, Looking For Life & There Was are the best songs from the It era.
Let's bear in mind Little Girl, Dogs Are Everywhere & The Sister's EP are EPs, so I don't think their tracks count.
So I'd say Sex City, although I can't really think of any I don't like. Even Silence has grown on me over the years lol.
I also love the TIH-era b sides tho' perhaps not That Boy's Evil (which I liked at the time but have gone off of.)

I quite like the 4Hero remix of Hardcore (for a remix...) and yes! Freek has it spot on, if s/he's referring to the version of Death that is more lyrical with extra synth at the start (I can never remember if it's Town or Disco...)

Hows about Countdown? I heard that first through the Fire compilations as the Rolfed-up version, so I always regard that as the original... whereas I much, much prefer the album version.

Jarvis and Hawley performed This is Hardcore at the Southbank Centre with the BBC orchestra in June for BBC Radio 3 - it has yet to be fully broadcast so look out for it! The orchestra played this sequence as an introduction before the drums kicked in. Well worth a listen. Jarvis seemed a little intimidated vocally by the sedate crowd though. (Part of the "Electronica III" programme).

"Seconds", "Ansaphone", "Deep Fried in Kelvin" & the acoustic version of "Dogs are everywhere" are my favourites.

I don't have much love for the remixes tbh, although TIH end of the line is good.
