I must concur with the above. I have, for example, been given some lovely stuff, but I need to get permission from the original originator (tautology?) before I feel comfortable sharing. But share I will. When I can!
Well, if the rest of this gig does surface at some point (and I now wonder how many copies of it are out there), we'd have a better idea!
I suppose the 'school boy Pulp' aspect cuts off at just before 'Boats and Trains' gets recorded though, doesn't it...?
I also further suppose that, with having the anonymity that sending stuff to the bar italia accounts provides, then hopefully we might see more stuff emerging. Fingers crossed!
There was a bit of a transition between the two Pulps. Remember Crabs was a year or two old by 1982, and on the same days as Boats and Trains they recorded Sickly Grin!

Sickly Grin's very much 2nd period Pulp I think, though. I know Wayne Furniss is still around, but it's quite Hinkler-led by then. All pop and charm rather than oddness.
I learnt on Sunday that one of my friends works with Jimmy Sellars. He claims, however, to have been Pulp's keyboard player rather than drummer. Odd!
Is it him making the squelching noises at the start of this recently unearthed 'Crabs'...? Or would that have been Pete Dalton at work...?
Definitely 2nd period Pulp in terms of line-up, but I just meant it's a daft uptempo sort of thing not unlike the earlier material (and indeed it was played live at least once by the Dolly line-up).
Jim Sellars did play drums for Pulp, but he was a keyboardist more generally so maybe that's where the confusion arose. That would be Dolly on the start of Crabs though.

Well I assume Jarvis wouldn't mind if he can play Shakespeare Rock in public now. I've only heard Rattlesnake on YouTube, can't find it on the Yahoo account. They should all be remastered on cd anyway.
I think there's a line between playing a verse or two of something you're embarassed about but can laugh at, and hearing 'Silence' or 'Everybody's Problem' released to the pubic.
Rattlesnake should be around somewhere. I'm fairly sure I found it in one of the yahoo accounts!
Did anyone attempt to contact the 'Jane Doe' who leaked the track? Any response?
With the latest Pulp rarities being released, I'm minded to rejig some of the earlier Portfolios but I'm not sure whether to wait and see if more of the Bath gig comes to light or not...
The new Volume One is currently looking like...

Oops...I'd thought that was already 'out there'. Ah well, if you've no objections, Mark..? I've been working with the clip a little bit and made it all audible (originally it was very faint at the start). Also managed to put it into a little more content, so am looking forward to sharing...!
Hmmm thats a bit harsh. Its one of Pulp's best songs in my opinion, both versions have different qualities. I heard that cover once on Youtube a while back, not a fan
