You could also interpret the comment as both Steve saying "Look, Pulp still mean a lot to me even though I'm not taking part in the shows next year" as well as "Expect new/old Pulp releases in the future".

That is some interpretation smile

Different Class and This Is Hardcore will almost certainly be reissued with Abbey Road mixes in the next 12 months.  We Love Live is a different matter as it was the fourth best selling LP by a margin and unlikely to shift many copies, but may also be reissued albeit in smaller numbers.  There is probably a similar situation with Intro.

I suspect that there will be a revamped Hits.  It never had a vinyl release and omits Mis-shapes.  A new Hits could address this and add in After You.

Also there are a number of unreleased songs that could be packaged up, though it would mainly be for fans.  A bit like Suedes See You in the Next Life.  Though for Pulp, that could be a box set in its own right.

Unlike the last reunion, there has been some work done remastering, so it will be interesting to see what gets released.

Well if they remastered the whole catalog, it's not to leave it hanging in a Universal closet right.

Box set could be likely, a bit like the one Divine Comedy did a few years ago, that was packed with unreleased stuff.

There's a market for it, many 90s band are reissuing their back catalog for die hard fans. The price is usually high, so it dont need to sell by wagons.

10.000 copies at 100 is still 1 million  biggrin

Maybe it was planned for 2020 or something then postponed because of Covid.

There is hope !

 That would be nice, but not sure how deep the Pulp archives post-1992 are.  Essentially it is four LPs, three of which have already had the deluxe treatment. Most of the unreleased stuff is We Love Life era.

They're deep enough - see Sturdy's suggested Intro deluxe version earlier in the thread.

There's room for a complete remix / remaster of DC though. It sounds very poor on modern equipment. So maybe only that. and a remix of TIH which suffers sometimes too on some of my gear.

I'm sure they can find alternate mixes to sell as well, that WLL demos should be enough to sell a full box set.

Many people will pay good money for Different Class on vinyl with the changeable covers.

It's time to do it. They're all approaching 60, whats the point of releasing a box set in 10 years. The demand is here, open the vault and let the demos out ! :D

Don't know if there are any plans for a box set, but apparently there will be *something* we've not heard emerging next year. Don't ask me what because I have no Idea!

There has to be really, im not being funny but another reunion after a reunion would serve no purpose

Maybe another "After You" - a late-era song like Cuckoo, remixed and released on its own and played live. Jarvis clearly rates this song as we've seen this year. But if Steve isn't involved, it suggests they haven't done any new writing amd recording so I'd be surprised if it's anything more.

Finally recording "Snow" and releasing it for Christmas would be nice!

I agree with this. Whilst I don't think that a new album is completely out of the question, I do think that it would be unlikely.

My money is on full blown reissues of the Island albums with all the demos and rarities. And yes, that includes "We Love Life". Some of the Suede reissues had 60-odd tracks each so I'd certainly settle for something like that.

60 each? Not on the most interesting records (the first two). A lot of the Coming Up stuff was reissued multiple times as they scraped the barrel for shitty monitor mixes of crap songs, barely distinguishable from other versions.

Nah, for Pulp, everything unreleased that's documented in the Recording Session section of Pulpwiki, would do nicely.
Unlikely I guess, but you never know.

 He's not involved *in the gigs*. No one's saying he's left the band...

(This is purely an observation on my part by the way, I'm not hinting at any more insider knowledge!)

I suspect Steve will be part of the next set of tour dates*. He's probably busy with other projects this summer.

(*Why live in the world when you can live in. your head?)

Had a dream the other night (not about a young fella in dungarees catching his hand in the doors of a Paris metro...) that for RSD 2023, Pulp issued a Double A-Side vinyl single. It featured newly recorded/mixed versions of Live On and Cuckoo.

Jarvis had updated the lyrics of Live On to say "The mirror says I'm fifty NINE years old..."

I need to get some fresh air...

 I haven't thought about this for a while, but am still curious about what it was/still might be!

No idea. Might just have been those digital singles.
