On blue vinyl, nowt in the way of extras but this is really welcome given it's long been out of print. Cheapest copy on Discogs currently is just over £50 and a "near mint" one will set you back more than £150.

The only Island-era LP Pulp album missing from my collection. Hopefully this is the start of a new reissue campaign based on the remastering Steve and Jarvis did a few years ago.

Announced on Razzmatazz's birthday too!

Slightly off-topic but I wish one of us/someone with passion ran the Pulp social media accounts, I follow Soft Cell and their admin is forever posting press-cuttings and teasing anniversary reissues in amongst the merch-selling.

Pulp's consists of gig announcements after they've been posted elsewhere and not much else. Mark's commentaries on all the singles/videos last year was great, can we have more of that?!

Ah, good news. My first Pulp LP I think, bought at Jumbo in Leeds for under £6 (sadly I no longer have the cool "special budget price" sleeve sticker in the same 'neon' font as the song titles on the back). Played it so much I'm surprised the grooves haven't worn flat. Might have to break my usual boycott of novelty coloured reissued vinyl for this one.

And yes, give Giles Acrylic a job on the Pulp socials! His How To Live In Style post the other day was awesome.
