Will!

Is it possible to have the dates of the signings on the (publicly viewable) petition? I presume you have access to those figures, but it would hopefully show an interesting swell in support over time which might inspire peoples' interest...?

 I tweeted some last night and was going to tweet again today. Think we could retweet tweets on 'our' page so it fills up.

Would anyone appose retweeting. Saw some tweets last night about this

 It's like a foreign language to me but I say go for it!

Retweeted a few tweets.

 Good idea. The date is now displayed.

Is the idea to get the signatures and then approach Universal? Or Pulp?

 Universal. Pulp already asked them about it and they politely declined.

How do you know that?  Was it in the press?

A bit of studio time to spruce up the demos (has enough changed in ten year for the album itself to warrant much remastering?) and then marketing and packaging costs. After that it's profit. No advances to the band, writing-off another month of studio time (of which Pulp spent a lot for both the last records) in expenses etc.

Reissues and back-catalogue excavating are one of the few guranteed revenue streams for record labels these days - witness the amount of unlikely reissues there have been in recent years; that's why we started this petition in the first place. By spreading the word as people on here have done this week, a solid amount of sales for a WLL deluxe shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.

 I suspect that the deluxe editions didn't sell that well.  Fopp were selling the His n Hers one for £2 each at one point and had a very big pile of them.

I managed to get three people signing by posting on the Folksy forum which is a craft website, so there's lots of places on the internet not just music sites that we could infiltrate.

I have to admit that I tried and failed to get on to the Divine Comedy forum, jept hitting error messages, anyone on that forum?
