I reckon there might be more too!...

note 'tracks'

How many times may I download my tracks?

And the page layout clearly shows room for more under 'After You'

---

 And the zip file you get is called "album" - maybe the same generic logic as for the word "tracks" .....

hehe. well isn't that a treat ! we were a few hoping for re-recording of that song and others from that time (It's clearly a NEW recording) and here it is.

After one listen, it sounds a bit rushed production wise, but i'm sure it'll pass and i'll end up loving it from start to end. First new Pulp material in 11 years, can't complain ! Now here's hoping they also revisited Cuckoo and other songs, along with some new ones maybe ?! I'm pretty confident now there's more to come. they cant do that and leave us now, can they ?

Thanx Jazza and Weed for the upload. much appreciated.

Could anyone do a screenshot of the site as well if that's not asking too much ?

 I'm feeling a bit gormless, maybe it's because I have to confront the Christmas kitchen any moment, but I'm not sure what you're after, the whole page(? - not sure why you'd want that, but if it makes people happy ...) or just the Christmas card artwork that comes with it - take your pick:

Sounds like 2012 Jarvis, especially hearing it along with the other demo version of After You! Interesting stuff, out of all the possibilities I didn't think they'd be re-recording old stuff! Or possibly new stuff, I mean seeing as it was never released before it could go on a new album I guess. If we were to have new recorded material, the production will clearly be a lot better; there are lots of different sounds on this, all very clear and highly defined! Excellent stuff!

EDIT: My one and only criticism is that it's a bit too long for a song like AY. It's not like TIH or Wickerman, it's a pop song really. Maybe a minute too long, the original was about that (just checked, 4:15)! Very minor criticism though!

Thanks for posting up the link. Song would not be out of place on the Intro Compilation/Gift Recording Days which is a great thing. Heres to more new/reworked songs of lost classics hopefully.

Maybe a sign of impending WLL demos being released! P.S. It sounds amazing.

I honestly can't believe anyone thinks it's just a remix of the old demo. The vocals are completely different to me and the rhythm/pacing on the vocals is different. Finally got to listen to it just now and I really love it, but I always loved the demo.

---

Plus the backing track is completely different too. That oriental sound is stronger on this with that extra guitar riff not coming in until the second verse whereas they blended throughout the original demo.

So amazing to hear this on Christmas morning! I'd never heard the demo, so this to me, is essentially a new track! Agree with what everyone says about it being a new recording, Jarvis' vocals don't sound like they did post-Hardcore, pre-WLL. BUT, don't want to be quick to jump to conclusions. There's every chance that this was the result of the band dipping their collective toe into the studio (on the sly, of course) to see how things were.

---

 im sure Jarvis going through notes of his, to put the book together also helped.  

Hahah, we're linked to on Pitchfork! Awesome! http://pitchfork.com/news/49006-listen-pulp-team-up-with-lcd-soundsystems-james-murphy-for-new-recording-after-you/

Also, the Soundcloud stream of the song that all the music websites are posting is my soundcloud account (brilliantmind), that I uploaded it to in order to post on tumblr! Not sure how I feel about that, really didn't think that websites would be reposting etc, I just wanted to show my internet friends. I feel like the song was temporarily 'ours' and I kinda gave it to everyone else, sorry about that.

---

 Shows you how these 'news' sources get stuff. I lost respect for NME when I found a whole lot of my youtube files linked by their 'articles'

Hope this LCD soundsystem connections is true. Love LCD soundsytem, and they're working with Arcade Fire also, so 2013 looks like a good year for music.

I thought I read that Further Complications was the bestselling Cocker-related album since Hardcore. 

What's the difference between something like this and a proper single? This can chart in the UK, can't it? 

- Nevermind, they aren't selling it, so I guess charting sales will be tough. 

I just heard Nemone on Radio 6 promising to play the track later on her show today - before 1pm! Probably while I'm driving my mum to the station with no digital radio in the car, never mind.

According to Q magazine it was 'recently recorded' with LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. He's also working with Arcade Fire on their new album!

 Is that on the Q website or a new edition of the magazine?

I dunno, they've always been insecure buggers when it comes to recording.

I dunno. Jarvis's solo stuff didn't really sell to well and WLL and Hits both were disappointing. The live shows have been a success but there's been lots of chat about being happy not having to do media to sell stuff etc. I think they would want to be sure before throwing themselves into it. After You may also be the band making sure they can still do it. Which is a big fat yes.

---

 Don't forget their supreme lack of confidence as a band _ I read that yet again pretty recently, I think in connection with the Sheffield show and Jarvis talking about how nervous he always is playing there - "We were never a very confident band". When he was wittering on about it being good of us all to turn up  and be so nice to them, I thought that was very heartfelt and not just being polite to the audience. If they haven't entirely dismissed making any new material, I wouldn't be at all surprised at them testing the water like this with a free gift. And I don't think anyone would expect it not to leak into the public domain, though it doesn't have to follow that that was the whole intention in the first place, in some Alistair Campbell-like fashion.

Hmm, maybe in the US. But We Love Life would have sold close to 50k copies (one week in the top ten, two weeks in the top forty). Further Comps peaked at 19 but for his solo career he's on Rough Trade who have managed him for twenty years and they're an independent label so big-sales is not something that either party would be overly bothered about.

For all the disastrous chart position of Hits it still went on, eventually, to go Gold - 100,000 units. Granted, the majority would have been in heavily discounted HMV sales but then so are a lot of big-selling compilations.

If they were to release a record in the current climate replicating the "failure" of WLL would not be bad going in terms of sales. Content is mostly consumed via torrents, youtube hits and spotify plays now. Once Apple launch a streaming service to rival the others, paying a quid for a download is going to be an alien concept to the 16-25 market - traditionally the ones who buy singles the most. Even now you're seeing established indie/guitar bands peaking at really low chart positions when it comes to singles.

An album could still do moderately well but any money-making will for the foreseeable future be tied-up in gigging all over the world like they've done for most of the last 18 months. And I can't see them, Candida anyway at least, doing all that again.

Re After You, I'm a bit surprised that they've resurrected an old song and re-recorded it. I don't think they've ever done that before. Quite admirable really - a clean slate for every era. I hope if any more comes of this surprise, we at least get all the unheard songs from 1999-2000 out of this.

Wasn't a chunk of In Rainbows songs that were demoed and played live since 1997? (But I guess Radiohead hadn't been on hiatus for a decade, then reunited while promising not to record anything, then releasing a mysterious song with the only comment being that the song was "not socks"...)

 'All I Need' was first recorded in 1997, and they'd played Reckoner live since 2001, loads of others were given their debut on tour in 2006 so I suppose it's whatever song fits their style at the time - they're changing all the time! After You is a completely different concept all together, much more mysterious as you say. Although I'm thinking they couldn't be bothered (or didn't want to) to write new stuff, and instead dug out an unreleased song they thought would be good to do again and did it out of curiosity. I don't think much else will come from it, hope I'm wrong though.
