It's a grower, perhaps - my instant reaction was 'no' but don't mind it after a few listens, which is pretty much how I felt about This House Is Condemned when I first heard it, and now I've got quite a soft spot for it.
I may or may not have danced to a Vocoder mix at some point in the past...
I'm waiting to listen until I get a copy of the single. The record store by my house has held a copy for me so I don't even have to wait in lines or fight anyone. Literally the only perk of being a Pulp fan in America: few other people care enough to go for the single

I waited for 2 hours got to the p section and saw someone grab THE LAST ONE! I am gutted . I felt murderous! then as I wandered round the shop I saw at least 10 folk with a copy it's like they were taunting me, the bastards .
Got up at 5am, got to Record Collector in Broomhill at about 5.35am.. 30 people in front of me already.. some there since 11pm the previous night! Didn't fancy my chances at that stage.
They had plenty of Pulp (and still haven't sold out as of now: https://twitter.com/rcsheffield) , so it was a success for me! Had fun chatting with people in the queue and laughing at the Saturday morning workers rubbernecking at us.
I didn't see one at my local Dutch record store. But they did have the 1992 Verve EP on vinyl for the first time. I didn't know that one was going to be released, so I am quite happy with it.

In terms of studio albums, I think since the reunion/ in the past few years they have all been remastered and/or reissued except We Love Life so like you suggest if they were to re-issue some of the EPs that would be the next step. Could they do some sort of special edition releases of the singles? As well as the obvious ones from DC, they could use Lipgloss, DYRTFT, Party Hard, Bad cover version though it might be hard re-releasing the earlier ones in the same hypothetical special-edition format since they are owned by Fire.
When I say special edition I mean some sort of quirky twist like the picture discs Bowie did for this year or something.
I dunno I don't collect Vinyl...

So with another Record Store Day over, what would others like to see re-issued (ignoring any possibility of new material) in the future? Personally, I'd quite like to see The Sisters EP reissued

The Rattlesnake and Don't You Want You Me Anymore single. Preferably on cd too.
