The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems that there's no deluxe WLL, or Intro come to that. So what if they didn't sell as much as the others? Did It and Freaks need big sales figures to justify Fire putting them out with bonus tracks? I can't think of many bands from 20+ years ago or more who haven't had that treatment. Including loads who were nowhere near as big as Pulp, even in their twilight years. There's a Kingmaker box set, I mean come on!

 Oooh - what would you envisage turning up on disc 2 of an Intro Deluxe LP?

Nothing that's not common knowledge, there wouldn't be any lost songs like on the other Deluxes. But I think there are plenty of good demos and radio sessions from 1992 that would fill out a worthwhile "Intro Plus" very nicely.

I asked Mark about the new album when I met him this week (see his Book thread). He was a bit coy as you'd expect but it sounded like it might already be done.... Oh and those worried about a Pulp album produced by Jack Antonoff (which Mark has expressed a desire for, and indeed did again during the talk), might be relieved to know that when Mark suggested Antonoff to Jarvis, JC said he had never heard of him! And also, Mark added, Antonoff would be too expensive. He also said they're keen for new material to come out this year as they don't want to hang around.

Hey, a Pulp rush is a welcome thing.

The right producer can get an album done in 3 weeks. 

Youth (Martin Glover) has a process of 1 song per day - introduce the demo over breakfast, finish it by dinner time.  And that often includes demanding requests like - sit there and write an extra bridge for that in the next half an hour.  Bands come out of the 3 weeks with a complete album plus a couple of spares for b-sides/deluxe editions.  

Jarvis' mate Steve Albini has always been similar.  Nirvana did In Utero from start to finish with him in 2 weeks. 

If you spend months in a studio - like the Las or Stone Roses fell into - you just end up up your own arses.

True, and I think that the bulk of "Different Class" was recorded pretty quickly when "Common People" became a huge hit.

Also, we got the first airing of new material in July 2023, around 18 months ago. Take "This is Hardcore" for example, we heard "Help the Aged" for the first time in August 1996 then the album was finished in January 1998 and on the shelves in March so these timeframes are relatively comparable.

Some great information from Eamonn there, of which we are all really appreciative of.

This Pulp album, if you think about logically will have been nailed down between shows, and now there is nothing on the horizon for a while (also the lack of social media activity) - means to me that the album is being produced right now.

I honestly think that the album will be released in the Autumn. Especially with Marks hint.

It looks like they had the following breaks between touring:

August - October 2023
January - April 2024
September - December 2024

More than enough time to record a full album.

10 fully formed songs new have been played live since 2021, if you include the 3 from the tail end of Jarv Is. That's a good base, even if there's not many more surprises left in the locker (which hopefully there are).

Very exciting times. I'm looking forward to a surprise announcement on BBC6 at some point where a new single may well be premiered.

That's how I imagine it might go anyway.

 To be fair if I hadn't seen Edgar Wright's Sparks documentary I wouldn't have heard of Antonoff either.

Hopefully before then, late-year albums are less likely to get nominations for record of the year. And we want Pulp to sweep the boards so they're more likely to make another record

They're not the most confident, they need to be loved at large.

I just noticed that the Pulp graphic on the Gigs & Tours site has alternative visuals. Could this be a hint at the album artwork? My first thought from an initial glance was that it was one of the images from the DC sleeve but then I saw the snow-capped mountain which made me think of the Pulp party trek up the Andes led by Steve in 2012.

Actually, zooming-in - it is the Different Class cut-outs.

Was wondering the very same thing - where are those mountains? It was a nice touch to see the cut outs but sad it's down to 4 people now. Grateful we've still got those 4 though.
