Should we inform the New Musical Express and the Melody Maker about the Petition.

 I say do it, but think you might be a few years off with Melody Maker! In form the NME they love Pulp.

Oops. Thanks, Will. Go with this, then...

And in my experience, the NME are practically uncontactable! Feel free to give it a go someone, though...

Hello!

I was hoping that you might find a place in your zine to run a summary of the below...

Pulp fans around the world are staging a 'day of action' tomorrow (4th May) in order to drum up interest in a reissued, 'deluxe' version of Pulp's final album, 'We Love Life'.

The songs which originally appeared on the critically acclaimed album only tell half the story of the busy songwriting and recording period which the group engaged in between 1999 and 2001 under various producers, including Walker Brothers legend Scott and long time Pulp/Pink Floyd/Beatles producer Chris Thomas

Universal Music Group, in close collaboration with the group, issued two disc deluxe versions of Pulp's earlier albums His 'n' Hers, Different Class and This is Hardcore, offering up to the world the delights of songs such as Can I Have My Balls Back Please, Modern Marriage, The Boss...and Nick Cave fronting the band on a 'pub rock' version of Disco 2000.

Songs from the We Love Life sessions such as Cuckoo Song, the Quiet Revolution and Grandfather's Nursery have been leaked over the years to much acclaim from fans, but oddities such as The Performance of a Lifetime, M'Lady, St. Just and Medieval Owl have defiantly remained in the vaults.

A Youtube video continues the story: http://youtu.be/wOTQ9Zk8t-c

Jarvis himself, not given to hyperbole has commented that "We could do quite a good one (reissue) of We Love Life".

So, if you like what you hear, sign the petition at http://www.pulpwiki.net/Site/Petition and 'like' the Facebook group at www.facebook.com/welovelifepetition

There's even a twitter account too: https://twitter.com/#%21/WeLoveLifePULP

Although Pulp continue to be a going concern headlining festivals and venues such as the Royal Albert Hall last month, there is as yet no indication of new material. And with an album's worth of music in the vaults, this could be the closest the world gets to 'new' Pulp.

Many thanks!

I checked it myself and it's fine, so no worries there.

As I said, compromising photos. And the editor's a big Pulp fan (if I remember correctly!)

Got there via a google search. Good write up, seemed to have added some of his own knowledge I think? And Jazza's mock up gets a starring role! Like the term Day Of Action Stephen.

My public service background demands that everything is a Day Of Action if you ever want anything completing by a certain time :)

338 signees. That's 19% up from 285 twelve days ago. Not bad going...but we need more. A 1,000 figure would look pretty good I think. Certainly 500 should be the minimum target...

Can someone put this on facebook please? It's for the good of everyone that I don't do it cause I'd probably fuck it up, there's just something about me and facebook.

Done! Lauren Laverne, Mark Radcliffe, Steve Lamaq, Tom Ravenscroft included. There's three bona fide BIG Pulp connections in the last three alone!

Emailed XFM, hit a few forums, and promoted on FB. Tomorrow is the day of reckoning!

It would but i wouldn't know who to text!

And I'm pretty sure all those Amazonians will receive an email that they've got a comment, so that's and extra 30 odd, not massive but not bad.

Can we text into XFM and Radio 6 DJs d'you think? Certainly the Radio 6 ones all have mobile numbers given on their respective BBC websites.

Worth a go?

345 signees!

Fred, NME does that with videos...I think it's some sort of video trawler? Certainly all the ones I made for my band ended up on NME without said magazine showing us much interest!

Are the twitterers tweeting away today? I don't really know how to help in that area...
