It's A Dirty World, I'd agree with that.

Catcliffe Shakedown is brilliant in that it's fucking ridiculous (I think, given Nick Banks' comments, intentionally borderline self-parody) - "stock up on string" and "duty-free parkin" are two things that always amuse.

Finally I can't reply to a thread like that started with a mention of Seconds without praising it to high heaven. Still one of my favourite songs, but I guess at my age that list is set in stone now.

I'm curious, what are people's favourite songs from the deluxe editions released in 2006? Personally, I'm quite fond of Seconds, We Can Dance Again & Like A Friend.

Definitely Street Operator out of the previously unreleased stuff. Also got a soft spot for balls and Catcliffe.

It's A Dirty World by some distance.

Of the rest I probably listen to Catcliffe Shakedown, My Erection and Frightened the most. Live On is fantastic but that was already out there previously.

It's A Dirty World is certainly an incredible track, how that didn't make it onto the album I'll never know

The Professional, by far my favorite Pulp track.

It's quite great how Pulp are one of those rare bands with b-sides/unreleased stuff as good as or better than their a-sides. Another great track for me is Your Sister's Clothes, especially the chorus.

There's too many great tracks to choose just one. If I had to pick four, they would be "The Boss", "Frightened", "You Are The One" and "We Are The Boyz". Oh, and "Watching Nicky". Oh, and "Can I Have My Balls Back Please?". There's just so much great stuff!

We Can Dance Again should have been a huge hit single!

It would have been had it been released late'94/early '95.

The Disc 2's of the reissues are a veritable treasure trove. Not all the songs are great (though most are), but there's so much variety that they should be obligatory to download with their parent album.

Basically everything - THE BOSS! Seconds, We Can Dance Again, Mile End (does that count? I haven't watched Trainspotting so it was a first hearing it). Why do people dislike Paula so much?

I'm not sure whether to think of 'all bonus tracks' here, or 'the new ones'. Rawrsomesauce names 'Seconds' which is, obviously, one of the best things written by anyone ever...but I wouldn't class it as one of the 'deluxe editions' tracks 'cos I've been playing it incessantly since I was about 17.

My five favourites that I'd not heard in any version before are:

Modern Marriage - brilliant lyrics. "And I promise not to sleep with your friends. Well, not your best friends" is 'I Spy' quality, I think. Very good timing!
Catcliffe Shakedown - like a gloriously naff Wickerman
Can I Have My Balls Back, Please? - just great fun
Street Operator (and everybody in the house say 'woah!' - imagine that live!)
Watching Nicky - just a lovely song

I'm speechless. That's not how I'd describe it at all.

the complete bonusdisc of H&H is one of the best bonusdiscs ever!! only the soundcheck version of Space kills it and should have been replaced by Le roi des fourmis, the only studio era H&H track that's not on the reissue. what a glorious reissue Intro would be, with demos and radio sessions...
