I think that most of Pulp's singles often seemed more than a box-ticking exercise. They were like different aspects of the world through the band's eyes at the time.

My Lighthouse / Everybody's Problem - pretty standard stuff for cheaply recorded songs. I'm not sure why the band photo for "Everybody's Problem" only included Jarvis, Tim and Saskia when there were other people in the band.

Little Girl (With Blue Eyes) / Dogs are Everywhere / They Suffocate at Night / Master of the Universe - a definite improvement. The latter three included some great sleevenotes and they were great all-round packages when you consider the low budgets

My Legendary Girlfriend / Countdown - not as interesting as the 1980s Fire singles. The Caff version had a better sleeve though

The Gift singles - now we're talking; great artwork with sleevenotes for each song. Pretty impressive considering that they still didn't have a huge budget at the time

His 'n' Hers singles - I agree with Eamonn's point above, they are very striking. The white background brings out the content very well

Different Class singles - really good stuff all round; jacket patterns, controversial drug wraps, video stills, semi-naked people and plenty of decent sleevenotes to boot.

Help the Aged - I remember Jarvis at the time describing this as a low-key comeback. The artwork certainly lends itself to this and it's kind of an interesting precursor to the 1999 shows with the blinds. It was also nice to have the lyrics included.

This is Hardcore - fits the single perfectly, the sleeves look like dirty magazine covers and the inside artwork is great

A Little Soul / Party Hard / The Trees / Sunrise - for me, this is where the box-ticking crept in. Hardly any decent artwork or sleevenotes, covers that look quite similar and sometimes the band logo is hard to read.

Bad Cover Version - a bit of a recovery. The "Ziggy Stardust" rip-off is a good idea but the logo and title are hard to read.

After You - obviously, singles have changed a lot in the near-10 years since "Bad Cover Version" but it is reminiscent of the "Different Class"-era logo which isn't a bad thing

Yep, I'd go with that.

I wonder did Jarvis have an art concept in mind for the aborted 1999 Quiet Revolution album. And - digression, but I wonder if that's the last release we'll get from Pulp (a lost "classic" record - easier for the press/public to get behind than a WLL deluxe edition).

I like Little Girl and Dogs... the mangled, folky style suits the songs- I always thought Jarvis was influenced by Kubrick's titles for Dr. Strangelove with those designs. Martyn Broadhead's Countdown single is a winner for me- suits the sound so well and the low res digital art fits in with some of Warp Records' output at the time. Everything from there to The Sister's E.P. is great. I like Common People and the colourful gloss of the Different Class period is good although Something Changed seemed like an afterthought then.... Party Hard and A Little Soul were just bad.
