After eight listenings I'm starting to like it. Sure there are more songs to come, why would they only record this?

 To have a go, see and hear if they still got it. Now they have a proof that they do.

Went on the site to download my track - didn't have the code with me over Christmas but all I see is a picture and nowhere to enter the code. Anyone else having this problem?

 I've just checked after what you said and it does indeed look as though the download is not being offered anymore. Wonder why?

That's a shame, if it is true, as there must have been people like me who hadn't been at home for Christmas and only got to download it now.

It is rather amazing to watch this all unfold. How quickly did 'the press' get this news (images link from our board, soundcloud links from our board) and where/who confirmed that James Murphay is at all involved? Dont get me wrong, I am very excited by all of this, but it is rather odd to see how social media/the internet (that makes me sound old and outdated) can turn a small spark into a full fire within hours. This story is being picked up by all the web new sources. Some how, I feel like PULP are sitting at home laughing at all of us. 

I for one believe there is more to come, (I did mention a xmas surprise in a Nov 24 post to which I am waiting to see the yourtube clip of WEED eating his hat) and that this is a testing of the waters. By removing the link it creates more interest. They want to see how much interest can be made from all this news/noise. I certainly am making lots of noise!

 EDIT: Never mind, just read James twitter page. (red faced) It is confirmed he did this track. Still interesting to see the fire burn! Keep the noise going.

That is indeed interesting. I was just trying to help a fellow pulp fan

But this is really, really interesting.

Yes. It seems the Pulp link was only open for 24 hours - I posted a query on the Facebook page. Shame they didn't mention it on the card. It seems a few other people with codes also missed out.

Hmm, with it only being available for 24 hrs, it suggests it's more likely - to me - that there is something bigger coming. Conversley, if After You is to be released in some form, why not just make it streamable for those 24 hrs rather than d/l able?

Precisely - I dont see why the band would go to all that effort for the sakes of : remaking an old demo, and also only recording one song.

Completely agree Voxpop, couldn't believe it when Metro tweeted about it earlier.

But let's take advantage of social media, people. Retweet, and send messages to key media sources surrounding the song, as this will increase its popularity.

If the band are 'testing the water', then there is more chance of more material... and we will only be giving the song the publicity it deserves anyway!!

If I were Pulp (and, tragically, I am not) I'd be seriously narked that the consequence of sound page refers to it as a demo!

 '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.

 Well, let's be honest here; we don't actually know what it is! What is the song for, what are the band hoping to achieve? Why do they have to be so bloody quiet about everything! I was moaning to my OH about the silence and she said to me (in the manner of someone fed up with being hassled by a hand wringing Pulp obsessive) 'Maybe there isn't anything to tell'. I hadn't considered that but that can't be true can it?

I'd have thought that, if it *was* a demo, then they probably wouldn't have got the bloke from LCD Soundsystem to produce it!!

I mean besides the 'demo' talk (I don't think it's a demo by the way), but the band can't complain really if people say it is a demo as they haven't done anything to inform people about what the song is. I wonder if the band knew that an old demo of the song was circulating in the fan community? If you're going to re-record an old demo people are bound to ask questions about why and what for.

Do you reckon they'd hit the studio and work on one tune only, in isolation, rather than on two or three?

i love it! and what a wonderful idea this all was! sad that i missed my window of opportunity to enter my code from my sheffield card though :( christmas eve and day were busy and thanks to this here website i knew ahead of midnight eastern standard time what the pulp goodie was. listened to the song but was looking forward to going home and putting in my own code at a later time. hope not too many others did this same thing and now the band thinks no one cared!

There are quite a few moaners on the Pulp facebook page to the extent that it even prompted a response from the people who run the page along the lines 'it was only open 24hrs' so I don't think the band think that no one cares. I wonder how many people actually downloaded the track in that one day?
