http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/what-s-on/music/pulp-s-history-remastered-as-wheels-of-sheffield-steel-city-spin-again-1-7060521

To save you clicking, I'm referring to this:

One particular master stuck out beyond all others though, something of the crown jewels when it comes to Sheffield and music a live recording of Pulp performing in February of 1982 at The Marples pub, the earliest known live recording of the now legendary Sheffield band.

It was recorded, put in a box, taped up and never played again. So, I got in touch with Jarvis Cocker and told him about the shop and the tape. He said hed completely forgotten the recording existed and would be interested to listen to it. Jamie is still waiting on confirmation, but Jarvis is due to visit the centre soon to listen to the recently unearthed gem. The recording lays at the heart of future plans for Bouquet of Steel as it looks to become a record label too.

What I want to do once the shop is a bit more established is set the label up and then once a year do a box set of vinyl and CD, of past and present Sheffield artists and if we get permission the past can be this live Pulp recording, says Jamie, who also plans to take Marcus Featherby up on his offer and re-release the original Bouquet of Steel record.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this just last week and I was expecting to read that the shop had closed down by now but looks like it's still going which is great.
I think Jarvis might have mentioned in the radio interview for their Leadmill plaque last year that he planned to visit it. I imagine that early live Pulp release is some way off though if it ever even comes to fruition.

Let's hope it happens. I think Jarvis may have mellowed a bit towards the early Pulp material in recent years, the 1981 Peel Session has been released and effectively everything bar "Silence" has been remastered without so much as a whimper from him (maybe he needed the money).

Also, check this out: nowthenmagazine.com/sheffield/issue-81/sound/
"Jarvis was amazed. He had no idea it existed and is journeying up from Paris just to listen to it.

Hes eager to listen and keen on it being re-released,

There are a number of live recordings from this year. Sadly, i would'nt expect any of them to be made available. The market i guess would be very limited to the hardcore? And this particular recording is'nt the earliest live tape out there is it??

You'd think they could have just sent him a tape or something.

That's what I thought after reading that, they could have even ripped it to mp3s and sent him those. Maybe he had other business in the area at that time and said he would call in if he got chance, which he probably didn't.

I've emailed/Facebooked the guy repeatedly about this, but never had a response. It's a shame as there's feasibly a good box-set of well recorded early live Pulp gigs out there if you include this with the other available - but not circulating - stuff.

I wish they would have done a proper taping of 'Zhivago' magic song.

Has anyone had any success with discussing this tape with Jamie Headcharge? I've tried Facebooking both him and the shop, but never had any replies. Do any Sheffield folk know him at all?

I'd be happy to do him a swap, unless he thinks he could get some money out of this.

But maybe he could consider some sort of 'boxed set' idea with the other extant '82 gigs. I believe four - including this - survive of the Wayne/Dolly/Jamie (and later David Hinkler) lineup.

I would happily pay for them. There must be at least 7 or 8 songs they played in 1982 that are not widely available. I can only remember hearing "How Could You Leave Me?" and that was decent enough. Plus given some of the descriptions I have read of the others, they seem quite interesting

I think Jamie was probably hoping people would pay for this CD. But he doesn't seem to be making any progress - as far as I'm aware - in making it available...
