Haven't heard this in years. The earliest known example of Jarvis' exemplary patter. I wonder if this performance was what made ''Russell the muscle'' join the band!

It wasn't me either though I have had a copy for years. Sorry I didn't admit that earlier but I never knew it was in circulation (now it's clear why the lyrics are on the wiki).

There used to be a website that did this.  Now what was it called?  Bar Italia, wasn't it? smile

I wish you all the best, would be great to have a synopsis of all Pulp's songs down the years.

Who the heck posted that? I wonder which live show it comes from? According to Pulpwiki the band played it at Bath Uni in Jan '82, that show is also listed as being the earliest known live recording but is not in circulation. Jarvis comments at the end of the song suggest that it was their final song/encore. Someone out there who reads this board seems to have access to that show. Thanks for posting it.

I only ever got a copy of the one song; not the rest of the show. I am not naming names but there is online evidence to suggest who has a copy of what...

Onto an actual song I've heard... but I'm going to have to nip back to update the last one at some point, so make that the second song. Anyway, here it is - check out the link at the bottom for an added treat too.

An interesting little mix there. I am very interested in the punk and post punk Sheffield scene. It's always nice to view Pulp within the context of what was going on at the time in the city. If people haven't investigated the scene local to Pulp in the early 80's then they really should.

I think the company the sites hosted by is providing the structure for the forum... Anyone know how to contact Steve? He doesn't seem to come on the site much.

I'm enjoying the blog, weej. Excellent work.

I'm glad 'Crabs' is now in circulation. Like Ian, I have had a copy for several years. On receiving it I was asked not to share it and so haven't. It must come from Bath University in January 82 and while a recording of the rest of the show does definitely exist, I don't have a copy.

Can't believe there's not been more discussion of 'Crabs' (snigger). It really must be the rarest Pulp recording to have made its' way online. And the earliest known example of Jarvis' on-stage banter. Cracking tune too.

I guess the talk of it being buried in this thread means a lot of regulars on here may not have noticed yet.

Oh and cracking entry by the way on Turkey Mambo. I like the way your and Mike's blogs vary in style. His are succinct and yours delve deeper into discussion of the song's components and background.

wasn't it Russell who organised the show in Bath where the recording of 'crabs' comes from?

 AFAIK he was the MC for the night, and had just left the stage before the clip starts.

We're actually witnessing the start of their relationship in that song. It's quite sweet really, you have what Pulp and are going to become in a few seconds of tape. Now if only the rest of the gig would surface.

I have completely fallen in love with Crabs now. Thank you so much to whoever emailed it in! Woah-oh-OH-oh-oh-oh!

Anyway - many thanks to whoever did upload 'Crabs' nice to have another song out in the open.

Boo @ hoarding.

 I'd really like to have a copy of that particular song as I'm about to try writing about it. If its around it'll surface one day, and I can always go back anyway, but it's a bit frustrating knowing it's out there somewhere.

Dunno if it's about hoarding - ultimately these mp3s were given on promise of no public circulation, by people connected with the band. There may be one or two people out there silently fuming that someone broke their promise, I'd guess that's the reason people aren't so willing to share.

Now, who's going to post the Rotherham demo in baritalia2007?

 "How Could You Leave Me?" - definitely not. I've only ever heard it but have never been able to get hold of a copy.

A few of those early unreleased songs were played at the launch for Truth and Beauty but I don't think even Mark was allowed to make copies.

Well, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who is going to be putting this on their MP3 player, I might as well share this:

I simply can't stand missing album art!

 

The cover (with three different titles depending on your preference):

I Scrubbed The Crabs That Killed Sheffield

Cripes alive! I didn't expect to see Crabs out there!

Looking forward to downloading this later, too. And it looks like I'll need to rejig one of the old Portfolios, too.

Now...can the kind benefactor be prevailed upon to allow the rest of the gig to surface? I suppose it's quite easy to do these things anonymously to the baritalia account...
