It's taken me about half a year to finally get this, but I've got hold of something really quite exciting.
Unlike some stuff of this level of rarity, it doesn't come with any caveats about sharing. So I'll be making it available as soon as I can.
However...it's a complete thing/product. I'd like to do it justice by circulating it with appropriate sleeve art, etc. Does anyone fancy doing that bit of it? PM me if you're interested in doing that. I genuinely don't have the time, but likewise I don't just want this to splurge out as random tracks.
I hope this is as exciting as you have hyped it up to be, Stephen!
I can do bits and bobs if you want. You'll have to DM me if you need me though (I suspect you've got everyone you need already) - I'm looking forward to it! - It's great to see a collective effort on here too. A great place to get away from the rest of 'the non Pulpy world'.
Sounds good to me - ive literally the odd few hours spare, so if need be drop me a line. If I know Stephen, this will be of Portfolio-esque style, therefore im hoping, and praying for.....
Either the Aborted Chris Thomas / Howie B WLL session, or the Depot demos.....however any Pulp is GREAT PULP ! Cheers Stephen

I'd be happy with his full kitchen-table 2015 interview with R. Senior but if it's a poorly-recorded 1985 full set from Gotham City (whence The Beat Is The Law extracted The Day That Never Happened) then so be it, better than nowt.
Thanks Jason and Mark - I hadn't been following this thread. Not intentionally being rude, but I only tend to access the Net on my phone atm, and BA isn't the easiest thing to view on there.
I think my other thread I opened on here this morning should provide more than a few clues. It's the full, unreleased Venini album. It contains the uncirculated songs Roxy, Little Kisses, Photograph and Amsterdam Sam. It also contains the re-recorded versions of Mon Camion, St. Tropez and Carnival Star. The other four tracks are the 'standard' (but pretty obscure) mp3 download of Postcard, and the three tracks from Mr. Sturdy's mail order 'Unshaker' EP.
As the bit rate for the album I've sourced isn't amazing (a bit of cymbal swooshing, etc), I'm looking to see if anyone has higher quality versions of those last four tracks. If this is the best we're gonna get (and there's no way Russell's going to allow Lost Music Club to release it!) then I'm trying to source the best copy of the previously released stuff I can.
I'm also going to put the standard single CD tracks on there, along with the ultra-obscure Baby Birkin version of St. Tropez.
Hope this is still exciting, even if it's not the Great Lost Pulp Album. Believe me, this album is bloody brilliant. Dirty and grubby in its lyrics and delivery, but so clean and precise with its music and arrangements. Reminds me of Intro in a lot of ways. I hope you all enjoy it when it gets ready to go.
And in the meantime, if you can help with those other tracks, then please do upload them and point me at them!
Ok, looks like my thread asking for the best possible copies of the actually released Venini tracks has disappeared. Bugger! Not sure if that was deliberate. Ah well, if anyone can help, then please do!
The four single tracks are easily available (still) in physical format. No-one's come forward with any of the other tracks in anything better than mp3 quality yet.
