I got a bit over excited then until I listened to "Love Will Stop For No-one" and realised that it is "Down By the River". Still, I don't think that the Hull tracks have been circulated before so it's great to hear them.
The Hull '86 Master of the Universe sounds exactly like one i've got from Ian's feelingcalledlive website, but listed as 10th june 1986 and not from the date Freek says, so here there's nothing new i guess... ??
Adelphi 86 has been in circulation for as long as the two Hallamshire shows have. I think Didn't Feel a Thing is from that show too rather than Hallamshire. I don't think there's anything new here.

Comparing these to the Pulp Portfolios, everything's on PP4, 6 and 9:
1. Couldn't Feel A Thing aka Didn't Feel a Thing(Sheffield '85) = Hull Adelphi, 10 May 1986 (Pulp Portfolio 9) 2. Fairground (Sheffield '85) = Hallamshire, 28 March 1985 (Pulp Portfolio 6) - plays at a slower speed here 3. Never Ending Story (Sheffield '85) = Hull Adelphi, 10 May 1986 (Pulp Portfolio 9) 4. The Mark of The Devil (Sheffield '85) = Hallamshire, 28 March 1985 (Pulp Portfolio 6) - cuts out early, plays at a slower speed here. Complete on the Pulp Portfolio. 5. Cousins (Sheffield '84) = Hallamshire, 3 June 1984 (Pulp Portfolio 4) 6. Srpski Jep (Sheffield '84) = Hallamshire, 28 March 1985 (Pulp Portfolio 6) - plays at a slower speed here 7. Will To Power (Sheffield '84) = Hallamshire, 3 June 1984 (Pulp Portfolio 4) 8. Maureen (Sheffield '84) = Hallamshire, 3 June 1984 (Pulp Portfolio 4/Live at The Hallamshire Compilation) 9. Take You Back (Sheffield '84) = Hallamshire, 3 June 1984 (Pulp Portfolio 4/Live at The Hallamshire Compilation) 10. Fairground (Hull '86) 04:56 = Hull Adelphi, 10 May 1986 (Pulp Portfolio 9) 11. Love Will Stop For No-one aka Down by the River (Hull '86) = Hull Adelphi, 10 May 1986 (Pulp Portfolio 9) 12. Master Of The Universe (Hull '86) = Hull Adelphi, 10 May 1986 (Pulp Portfolio 9)
They're all in higher quality on the new compilation, of course: the Pulp Portfolios were only available in MP3 format, so there's some upgrades to be found here.

Is that working title for Down By The River legit? Don't recall reading about it before. Kind of an unlikely Pulp song title (as "True Love Waits" is for Radiohead)!
Random fun fact I learned today - both "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division were both recorded in the same studio (Strawberry Studios, Stockport), seven years apart.
