Short answer is we don't know! The Jarvis vocal version is not circulating, it was attempted at a later session than the version of Got To Have Love that is circulating.

ok thanx :)

The Got to have love bit would make a great chorus, and with some verse next to it, it would be a hell of a song.

I find it hard to imagine a vocal line over the song as we have it unless it's along the lines of The Professional or Set The Controls with Jarvis sing/talking.

well i totally hear it in my hear, as you said, something half sung half spoken, whispered ala styloroc... This has potential to be amazing, i really really hope there's more vocals. To me the structure and arrangements suggest that such a possibility is plausible. I would even go as far as saying the vocals on the version we have is the backing vocals.

 

Maybe i'll do a take someday biggrin (it'll suck)

I wonder if it isn't a sample?

But who's doing the singing? It sounds like a gospel or soul choir! Why get one of those in for a demo? The more I hear it the more it seems like a wild jam along to that other chorus.

It could well be the same female vocalist we have on Weeds II (and other songs) overdubbed to make it sound like a choir.

On the Hits DVD menu, you got that female voice quite clear, and it sounds almost the same to me. Are we sure those "demos" arent in fact a first version of the record ? I mean Cuckoo and Quiet revolution sound almost finished to me, same for Sunrise, unlike After You from another sessions which is clearly a demo. They could use a bit of remixing and overdubs but maybe that was a first aborted session. Experts ?

I don't think they are almost finished recordings as you suggest andy. From the evidence of the deluxe editions Pulp obviously demo material to a very high standard but the odd wonky time signature gives them away. It just strikes me as strange that the Wessex Studios demo session features vocals by Jarvis on all the tracks except GTHL which has a female vocal line. I'd love to know who the woman is who is singing on that track. One of the Swingle Singers perhaps? Although I will conced that both Cuckoo and Quiet Revolution sound finished, perhaps just because they are the oldest songs on the demo.

Maybe Sturdy will help us on this, it's a very interesting matter indeed.

Are we positive that a finished vocal was put down? We all know what Jarvis is like with writing lyrics at the last moment.

Does it have to be Universal who release it? Are these demos licenced to anyone? Could it not be just a case of Jarvis handing over the tapes to an indie label? It's just a thought.

weej - That's cool!

Demos fall in the category of being the property of Island. They recorded it under the name Pulp, and whatever they record, demos, live, LP, birds noise...etc belong to the label.

Good stuff weej :) (is it really him though ?)

Ha, same thing happened to my post. No, it's definitely not him - there are a few fake accounts for each band member. There's one 'Jarvis Cocker' who is in a complicated relationship with 'Steve Mackey'!

Ah, I knew it was too good to be true. Still, a fun surprise.

The 'Hits' album was their last remaining contractual obligation to Universal and the way the record company lowered the initial advance offered when taking-up the option of another Pulp album after We Love Life played a part (who knows how big?) in their split in 2002.

This deserves a bump.

202 signatures? Come on!

Indeed. We need to think outside the box...like someone bringing a hard-copy of the petition to the NY show (their biggest indoor show since the '98 arena tour?) and passing it round to people on the way in!

I made this planning to give it out at the Rough Trade signing, but I forgot it (sorry!)
