Stephen, this is, again, absolutely brilliant. Are you/can you do a new rip of the 87 Limit gig? I'm sure quality could be improved on what we have if you have got an earlier gen. Oh, and is it just me or is Tunnel actually a proper song on the evidence of this gig rather than the semi improvised jam it appears to be?

I thought I'd save this one 'til the weekend so you didn't have to take the day off work :)

Two cracking little rarities on the first set for you. The second set is a lot more familiar.

Shame they're both incomplete. There is a chance there's more of the Rockwells set to come to light. I'll update as and when...

ENJOY!

Oops. Small typo here. The last figure should be '15' rather than '10'!

 

Link coming shortly...!

Downloading now. I never would have guessed that they performed "Tunnel" live! Thanks again for sharing.

Surprised me, too! Further surprise is quite how structured it is!

Eamonn, well I thought it was pretty exciting. Sorry if I got yr hopes up for anything more. There is an unheard song coming eventually tho. Will, thanks. But the thanks must go to the chap who recorded the gig, the chap who got it from him and allowed me to circulate it, and the chap who gave it to me in the first place, whether they'd like to take credit or not!

Who are these chaps? Where are you getting such rarities?

Fred,

The gig was recorded by Chap No. 1. He was apparently quite a Pulp fan 'back then'. He recorded 'a few' gigs I'm told. I have a feeling that only three are in existence. This, and the '87 Limit gig are two of those.

A chap who Jarvis used to know in the 80s got hold of these cassettes. This chap was in Sheffield bands around that time. He's not responded when I asked whether he wants any credit for this, so heigh ho!

Finally, I was given these tracks a little while ago by someone else who'd previously made contact with Chap 2. I decided to contact Chap 2 in order to get permission to share, and that permission I got.

Also, completists, I've just had an email saying there are eight tracks from this Rockwells gig. They're still on a 1st gen. tape at the moment but I've just been told I can have them. I'll just have to wait I suppose.

I had thought that getting permission for distributing this stuff was going to impossible, but I'm shocked at how easy it's been and how amenable these people are!

If only this was the case with the Bath '82 tape or the April '82 Sheffield Limit gig!

Saw119, I do have FLAC versions of the Limit gig, but now sure whether they're going to be hugely better or not. That's to come in a little while, though!

And yes, Tunnel does indeed appear to be a song. A short, structured song at that. Very odd!

 Sorry if that came across as ungrateful, I was just thinking aloud if Back In LA had been played live and recorded other than at the Dolebusters gig. Your work on all these is very much appreciated.

With regards to the 1982 gigs, do you have any leads on who might have those recordings? And any luck getting in touch with that bloke, Paul Mills on other gigs he apparently recorded (unless he is one of the chaps you refer to)? On his blog he also states he has an old Russell and Jarvis interview, I think different to the one that most of us have heard, judging from the wiki perhaps it was this: 

 

BBC Radio Sheffield - R.O.T.T.

Transmitted: circa 1984 
Details: Interview with Pulp and broadcast of tracks from the Sudan Gerri demo. (Pulp appeared on this programme several times.)

Dixie, glad you like it. Cracking version innit?

Eamonn, not at all. I did reread your post and realised then you weren't being a horror :)

Back in LA was played at Dolebusters? Whaaaa...? Do you know something I've forgotten...?

I do have ideas on the story of the Bath gig, but I understand that it's not going to be available. In an earlier thread, Mark Sturdy notes that Wayne Furniss has it. Mark's previously stated that whilst Wayne let him hear various songs, he wouldn't let him take them away. So it's Wayne Furniss one needs to ask...politely!

As for the '82 Hallamshire...your guess is as good as mine. Someone on here might well have it, but one can often be restricted with the request of 'please don't distribute this' from whoever gave them the track.

I believe the interview Paul Mills has is more from 1986/7 rather than one this early.

I guess this is the interview that was included on the obscure 'Premspeak 1' cassette in 1987. I've certainly never heard it.

 Oops, no, for some reason I thought the demo of Back In LA was a live recording, dunno why I linked it to Dolesbusters. So, this is the only live recording that we know of then, fair play for the unearthing!

And yes Will, that's the one I reckon. I'm surprised Premspeak 1's never been unearthed thus far. I think every other Pulp cassette comp's come to light bar this one, hasn't it...?

And Eamonn, the 'Back in LA' demo just *sounds* like a live recording :)

I've a vague recollection of "Back in LA" being performed at the Hallamshire in 1985 but I might be wrong.

Yeah, see PPF #6 for that.

The Pulpwiki lists:
Hydroelectric Dam Tillys Story (part 1) Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) The Will to Power Fairground There's No Emotion The Mark of the Devil Simultaneous Back in LA Breaking Down at My Door Srpski Jeb Life Must Be So Wonderful Being Followed Home Tillys Story (part 2) "and possibly others"

However, the tape in circulation (and included on PPF6) features only
Hydroelectric Dam Tillys Story (part 1) Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) Fairground There's No Emotion The Mark of the Devil Simultaneous Breaking Down at My Door Srpski Jeb Being Followed Home Tillys Story (part 2)

so missing out on Will to Power, Back in LA and Life Must be So Wonderful. And possibly others.

I just need to wait 'til Nick Canute has time on his hands to dig out his tapes and hopefully copy/digitise them to get these 'missing songs'. I don't think it's his main priority though!

I'm not sure where the Pulpwiki setlist originates from.

Love the versions of Back In LA and Tunnel on this. Performance and recording quality both astounding. Good job all involved!

Performance good once it gets started, anyway :) What was it about Jarvis continually messing up Simultaneous? It happened again in '84, too. Tut tut.

I'm presuming some people will find this message. I've just received two 80s gigs, one of which I am very excited about listening to, and another is a different version of this '84 Hallamshire gig and I'm told it's better quality. Please find then, the 'new' Pulp Portfolio 005. I've also changed the sleeve art to represent the fact that the 'jam' track is separated here.

And let me know if you do think it's better quality. It's certainly double the file size of the original one I posted!

Thanks for this Stephen!

Is there a new link then for the newer 005?
