A few weeks ago, I commented that I would be interested in starting a blog to link to all the live/rare recordings. Well here it is, I have done all the 1980s and will link to everything else over the next few weeks.
If anyone wants to help, just PM me your email address and I will get you signed up.
Thanks, I am trying to post a year's worth of material each day. I will post on here when I have uploaded everything I have then if anyone can spot any gaps just let me know.
I did notice a distinct lack of Jarvis solo shows on my hard drive... if anyone wants to upload any then that would be greatly appreciated.
Crackin' list. As has been mentioned, I think a lot of us have most of these on old hard drives and computers not used anymore so this is a great resource. Do you need us to chip in with the storage space, Ian?
And was this something similar to what Stephen Bray wanted to house his Pulp collection?
Also, do you have the Hit The North Session and interview from '91? Always seems to be the hardest one to track down, I remember I had it on an mp3 player that I lost a few years ago.

The storage space isn't an issue, I have just set up a few Google/Dropbox/Mega accounts. My long term plan is to have at least 2 download links for each show to increase availability / decrease bandwidth.
I will speak to Stephen to see if he wants to send me anything he has with a view to getting it uploaded and indexed.
Hit the North...it's not on my current hard drive but I do have a couple of old laptops and hard drives in a cupboard as well as a load of old tapes. It's probably there somewhere, I will upload it if I find it.
Some new stuff uploaded (thanks to Stephen and Kev):

I'm enjoying the Peel show, "The Will to Power" doesn't sound totally out of place
You're welcome! Did Ian upload the whole show then, or just the segment surrounding it? It does feel so bizarre hearing it in the context of the time. Interesting, too, that Peel did remain aware of Pulp for some years after their session for him.

I uploaded the full show but told viewers in the description where to skip to for "The Will to Power".
And you're right, he did remain aware of Pulp though I do remember hearing him say on the radio (possibly on the "This is Hardcore" documentary) that he forgot about them. Presumably he didn't play them for a few years then rediscovered them in the early 1990s.
Peel must have played hundreds of bands once or twice that he subsequently forgot about.
I think what might have piqued his interest ahead of their second session in 1993 was the comparison to Abba meets The Fall (his favourite band) or "The Fall in Las Vegas" in a live review of Pulp in one of the music papers (I think the writer was Graham Linehan of Father Ted fame).

I thought his reintroduction to them came from seeing them support The Fall sometime in 1992.
Oh, was it? I thought that was when Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee saw Pulp and decided to take them on as their management (and Jeannette still manages Jarvis today, I believe).

30th March 1992 - according to Peel wiki - is when he saw them support The Fall. Not sure how this fits in with other stuff!
