Early Pulp To Appear On New Comp
Permalink  
 

Cherry Red records are shortly to release a new 5 disc comp of British Indie records called Scared To Get Happy and appearing on disc 2 are our very own Pulp with their contribution Everybody's Problem. Interesting given the wrangling over the '94 reissue of It and it's subsequent withdrawl. Is this really the best song to represent the Indie (with a capital 'I') Pulp or should another track have been selected? I'll probably buy it anyway, not for the Pulp, but because I love this stuff anyway.

I bet Jarvis isn't very happy about this! They should have put My Lighthouse on instead, especially with more people knowing it now from the live shows.

Scared to get happy, Scared to dance, feeling gloomy....why are indieheads persecuted so?

I'm fairly sure most of them are perfectly happy, living in semi-detached Barratt houses in Chiswick.

I suggested to Cherry Red releasing a facsimile 7" of Problem/There Was for Record Store Day, but they never got back to me...

For me it would be Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) but I do like Everybody's Problem.

Everybody's Problem and There Was are the only two tracks Cherry Red owns, so they won't have had the option to include anything else. The issue over the 1994 It reissue wasn't the inclusion of those two tracks, it was the It album itself which it transpired they didn't own the rights to!

I've got a strange love for Manon as well so just count me as the anomaly!

"Everybody's Problem" was released on a compilation called "Red Heaven" in about 1995. Also, both songs were released on another compilation.

"There Was" shows that they could get it together and do a damned fine job of it but the a-side is pretty poor, I don't even think that it could have been reworked into anything half decent.

Haha yeah. I was listening to it yesterday and my 9 year old (he loves everything post Intro but doesn't understand anything pre 90's) looked at me as if I was fucking mental :)

It feels a little like scarilege but I'll suggest it anyway. To me Jarvis's vocal on Everybody's Problem has more than a touch of Morrissey in that vibrato. I know an influence is unlikely given the relative timings of the Smiths and Pulp but I'm glad Jarvis abandoned that style of singing. There Was is a far superior song.

Everybody's Problem isn't that bad! I quite like it - better than some of the songs on It

I like Everybody's Problem. It's "prehistoric-twee".

This compilation looks pretty good actually. I would have totally bought this back in the days when I actually bought CDs.

 I love Manon too. I actually watched the video again just the other day and I always think it's absolutely hilarious when that disembodied hand holds that white pebble in front of Jarvis face when he sings 'hard and white as a stone'.
