Texted - I am slightly overcome by 2 lovely people on the Pop will eat itself forum - one said "not my cup of tea but will sign it" and another said "not listened much since his n hers but will sign" - How super cute is that?

Some people are never happy... Can I remove .mov without re-uploading?

Well, I've had plenty of views on the forums I've posted the petition on but no replies. I just hope that everyone that views will sign the petition, it doens't even take that long. By the way, I was just thinking; has anyone bothered to tell Universal Music what we're doing?

Well there's been a shit load of extra signatures today which is good, seems to have died down a bit down though.

Did anyone listen to the radio shows?

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

We are drowned in sound! Seems to be as a result of the god tv site. http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4340699

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

Does anyone with a Drowned in Sound account want to reply to those people and explain what we're up to...?

Presumably Universal didn't think it would be a financially lucrative exercie...?

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.

There's always a surplus of albums in bargain bins these days even by the biggest artists when it's been a few years since release.

How did we do? We didn't do bad... I've got to admit to a little disappointment, although people are still signing today, with things like forums people might just look in once a week or something so there might be a slight long term effect. we didn't bring the Internet to its knees (always going to be tough!) but we did boost signatures.

We've suffered from the same kind of voter apathy that infects modern politics!

Number of signatures per day:

28/10/11 8
29/10/11 27
30/10/11 15
31/10/11 13
01/11/11 8
02/11/11 4
03/11/11 6
04/11/11 7

Between these dates anything between 0 and 5 per day.

30/04/12 11
01/05/12 11
02/05/12 9
03/05/12 7

04/05/12 55

05/05/12 18
06/05/12 11

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?

I posted it on a livejournal community I am a member of; maybe a couple of folks will sign.

55 extra votes may not be the success we were hoping for but I think it's something to be proud of. Especially considering the hardcore PULP fans would've already signed.

I chatted to my friend who works at Universal at the weekend. He said it was highly unlikely a petition would get the tracks released, unless there were thousands of signatures.

However... he did say that it's likely the tracks will get released someday... From time to time a record company will look through the unreleased tracks they own and see if any money can be made. He thought that a big box set would be most probable/profitable.
