Very hard to call. I will probably have to go with The Boss as my ultimate favourite from the deluxe eds. I distinctly remember when I popped that on for the first time cos the keyboard riff just reminded me what I loved so much about Pulp and that particular era of Pulp's work. It sounded like it'd fit in well on Intro and I love that period in their work. The keyboard getting a prominent role. This means I also love Live On. I will have to give special compliments to It's A Dirty World and also I think My Erection is a great song, I would love to hear it with Jarvis' vocals proper, you know, without the vocoder.
I would, yes. I would also steal a policeman's helmet, kill the policeman, soil the helmet and return it to his grieving widow. And then steal it again.
I once paid £17 for a cassette copy of Different Class. So I'm allowed to steal nowadays.
Of course I'd buy it! I bought It and Freaks on the day of release I think and, like the post above, I have more money than in 2006. As well as more Pulp love!
Now that I can put a memory stick in my car stereo with hundreds of songs on...
Dirty World You're Not Blind Street Operator Cocaine Socialism (Proper Version)
(Though I had a dream a few months back that "Can I Have My Balls Back, Please?" was covered and went to number 1 in the charts but I refused to play it in the club in place of the original, so that gets a listen from time to time for a laugh)
So now I'm intrigued as to what your ideal tracklisting would be for each album, you're allowed to add one song at most (e.g. adding Live On to His N Hers without removing anything) and to swap as many songs as you like. Also allowed to change the order of songs around. Here's mine:
His N Hers
1. Do You Remember The First Time?
2. Joyriders
3. Live On
4. Acrylic Afternoons
5. Seconds
6. Babies
7. She's A Lady
8. The Boss
9. Happy Endings
10. Pink Glove
11. Your Sister's Clothes
12. David's Last Summer
Different Class
1. Mis-Shapes
2. We Can Dance Again
3. Common People
4. Disco 2000
5. I Spy
6. Live Bed Show
7. Sorted For E's and Wizz
8. Something Changed
9. F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E
10. Underwear
11. PTA
12. Bar Italia
This Is Hardcore
1. The Fear
2. Dishes
3. Help The Aged
4. This Is Hardcore
5. Party Hard
6. It's A Dirty World
7. Like A Friend
8. I'm A Man
9. The Professional
10. Cocaine Socialism
11. Glory Days
12. The Day After The Revolution
The reason both Cocaine and Glory are in there is because I think they'd both work well in the overall feel of the album

A couple of years ago I would have probably come up with totally different tracklistings for all the albums (in fact, I think I did!). Nowadays, I tend to take them at face value so wouldn't change that much. I would drop "Dishes" in favour of "Like a Friend" and probably put some of the b-sides onto "His 'n' Hers" (perhaps sacrificing "Happy Endings").
