Small bit of extra info for the Pulp historians...
Permalink  
 

Being as almost every single one of my schemes and contacts for getting hold of old stuff is collapsing shortly before the finishing line (or even before the gun goes off in some cases) I thought a small (very small) bit of interesting news worth mentioning:

I've heard from a chap who saw the Rotherham Arts Centre gig (July 1980). The person in question states that Pulp did a cover of I'm Not Your Stepping Stone there, which is not something that was previously on the Pulpwiki - can't remember if it was in Truth & Beauty or not but, there you go, a small update for the early-Pulp obsessives.

And no, he didn't tape it.

Someone might have taped it but taped over it :(

It seems unlikely!

I found an email from years ago that I'd saved on an old hard drive from Mike Siou saying that he thought someone recorded it but then taped over it shortly afterwards.

The Rotherham gig? Blimey. I'd heard of one of the school assembly hall gigs being taped, but not this one.

I wonder what became of Mike Siou...?

Me too, I tried to email him a couple of years ago but it bounced so I'm guessing he changed provider. Certainly a legend on the Lipgloss list for providing those rarities tapes (some of which I've still got at home). He also copied me a couple of soundchecks and shows that I never even knew happened at the time!

Mike is around on Facebook still - he's very much off the bootleg scene though, all his tapes and DATs are packed up somewhere at his parents' house!

Thanks for that Rotherham factoid Stephen. Does your witness remember anything else about the gig? For what it's worth I think that the tale of it being taped must be crossed wires with the school one.

Not as far as I know. I'll ask, though. I've also found a witness to the Wimpy gig! Claims to have been one of only two non-band people in the room.

Am I to presume Mike doesn't have anything that's not in circulation through other sources...?

I hold my hand up here - he was talking about the City School one. I have just re-checked said email. I asked him if he had anything earlier than Leadmill 1984, he replied by saying that he might have had if people didn't tape over their tapes then told me (in almost exactly the same words as what's on Pulpwiki) what happened. Sorry, my bad! As for him having stuff that's out of circulation. I'd say it was certainly possible because that's where my Touch of Glass recording came from (he kindly put it on with another show to fill the CD up and this was after "We Love Life" so imagine my surprise!).
