There's someone on this board who I'm intending on making a Pulp comp for. Now, this person is already a fan and went to a fair few of the Pulp gigs last year but has never investigated any Pulp pre-Intro, even though - as can be seen - they does actually like that album itself. So I'm aiming at doing an It/Freaks/Separations/MOTU/80s Demos comp that will spread the word about the wonderful pre-pop-Pulp but still be listenable.
These are the said person's favourite Pulp songs if it helps anyone to make a decision:
1.Wickerman
2.Sunrise
3.This Is Hardcore
4.Common People
5.O.U. (Gone, Gone)
6.Babies
7.Countdown
8.Do You Remember the First Time?
9.Seductive Barry
10.Monday Morning
Nearly-songs...
Happy Endings, Last Day of the Miners' Strike, Live Bed Show, Party Hard, Roadkill, The Trees, Underwear, Sheffield: Sex City
I'm thinking of...
It: Wishful Thinking, In Many Ways, My Lighthouse
Freaks: Don't You Know, Little Girl, Dogs..., 97 Lovers
Separations: Love is Blind, Countdown (Single version), MLG, Death II, Death Comes To Town
A bit conservative I know, but hopefully someone else has some good ideas. I'd also like to get some Russell on there if at all possible.
And yeah, I do love Countdown - it's what got me into the old stuff - but I thought a one CD thing might get listened to more.
Of course, in an ideal world, my lovingly hand made and hand printed 'Senior Moments' compilation would do, but sadly I think it would be an unwanted gift.
