Edited the title since the scope is now broader.

 

Things like Quiet Revolution, Yesterday and Cuckoo and the instrumental version of Got to have Love...

 

Are these 'available' anywhere?  I'm not asking for people to give me a copy - just curious really :)

The demos you mention have been shared in the past. You should be able to find them if you dig about a bit. Have you looked through the Yahoo accounts? They might be in there, though I've not checked recently.

I have them already, I was more curious as to whether anyone would want them uploading, but if they are already available, not much point.

I have a couple of tracks from the Fallout shelter in 92, The three FON demo sessions, Ping Pong Jerry, Sudan Gerri, the ones I already mentioned and a couple of random tracks (After You/My Mistake) some of which I did get from here.

I've grabbed a few live sets from here recently, so nice to give something back if I can :)

I'm quite sure the Quiet Revolution demo has never turned up & I'd love to hear it if you don't mind!

I think it's time we tried to do something about a We Love Life deluxe edition.
Pulp played enough We Love Life material at their own shows over the summer to suggest they still rate it.

Even if it's not forthcoming, despite the band being interested in a reissue as Sturdy mentioned a couple of months ago, maybe Universal would sell downloads of the many songs demoed and unreleased from 1999-2000. As it is, these recordings are gathering dust. If the record label are waiting for a future surge in new Pulp fans, well this year is as good as it's likely to get. And considering the reaction Pulp got at their festival appearances, that's pretty good.

Someone proposed the idea a while back that on Pulpwiki we could put up a blurb at the top of the page petitioning the label for a reissue/the unreleased songs, where people can add their name and then we link it to the Pulp facebook page to get the numbers up and give Universal something to think about. Should we give that a go?
Will, it's your site, would you be ok with something like that?

The album is ten years old this month, it would be nice if it was marked over the next few months by it getting the same treatment as its' predecessors did. Even the Fire albums are being given a proper reissue in the next few weeks.

No one knows where original / lossless recordings of such demos can be found ?

It breaks my heart everytime I realize that the We Love Life demos are only circulating as mp3..

Thx

Oh Alphi, I couldn't agree with you more about the lossless situation. There is a very good chance that lossless versions were never posted originally and their lineage has always been mp3. People can't post stuff lossless unless it's out there and that's probably the person with the original casette of demos. I will eternally grateful to people like blueowl who are willing to share rather than horde. I'm still looking for a lossless 92 Black Session, anyone?

In RE: to Mp3s vs FLAC

I did actually rip some of these from CD, but I'm pretty sure the CDs weren't lossless copies in the first place (unless the swooshy cymbal sounds around the 6 min mark in Wickerman are intentional!)

I do rip in high quality and to me these don't sound any different to the CD - Audiophiles will disagree, but that's another discussion .

I can do a flac rip of one track if anyone wants to check but I really don't feel that there's much point.

At the end of the day, I'm thankful that we can hear anything at all, so mp3 vs Flac is moot - I'll take what I can get :) 

The quality (or lack of) some of the material is as much a consequence of the times that Pulp grew up in.

Is it me or can I hear a mobile phone being dialled through that Sunrise demo?

If they release a deluxe version will there be any songs we still haven't heard?

The best part of an album's worth.

A song called ''Darren'' from the session that's been uploaded on this thread http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/October1999Demo, three songs from here  http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/WessexDemos (St Just/M'Lady/Performance Of A Lifetime + Got To Have Love with vox; the remaining ones have leaked) and God knows how many from here http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/DepotDemos, though it's unclear whether they have vocals - it says they don't on that page but a version of ''My Mistake'' with Jarvis singing was posted to the forum a couple of years back so either the note about them being instrumentals is wrong or this particular track with vocals came from another, undocumented session. 

 Hawley has said before that they tried out a lot of unused songs during that time.

Definitely has the potential to be the most interesting and best value out of all the reissued albums.

I seem to remember that in the distant past that there was actually a promo pressing of the demos for WLL released.  And just looking at the Acrylic aftrenoons site, I was right.  And they are the same order as the pulpwiki page.  Maybe a coincidence?  But if anyone has a copy of the CD with all the the 9 tracks is slim.  According to AA.COM, they were only a handful distributed to the Island hierarchy etc.

So they are out there somewhere!

Regards

Yes, I think it's a good idea. We could put some blurb about it on the wiki front page above the News section with a link to a separate page for people to sign.

Wow so we finally get the whole sessions, thanx soo much for this. Cant believe it took us 12 years to get it as it was (apparently) easily available. But now i can see why Quiet revolution wasn't recorded properly, it would have made a good b side at best, seems a bit messy and needed work. On the other Cuckoo is still amazing, cant understand why it wasnt on WLL.

 I think it might have something to do with the fact that it isn't strictly speaking a Pulp song is it? Wasn't Jarvis asked to rework some songs from Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music and he reworked The Coo Coo Bird and Mississippi Bollweavil Blues as Cuckoo and Cockroach Conversation. I can put the originals of those tracks in the baritalia account if there's any interest?

Ok, posted to 2007. Does anyone have a recording of Cockroach Conversation? It was done at the 'Touch Of Glass' gigs and that's all I think.

If people didnt fuck up the "Trixy" scenario - then we would have had more demos
