I found it very easily on Soulseek but cant motivate myself to listen to more than a couple of seconds of each track. The listening party here is on Thursday, why spoil the moment now?
Thanks, I have downloaded it as I really wanted to get my hands on "Partial Eclipse" but after looking at the waveforms, I decided against pressing play.
Sure, my first listen will be via streaming on my way to work on Friday morning but even that's a massive improvement over what I have just looked at.

Yeah its really sounding weird I have 2 versions one is really bad the other is ok on headphones but not on speakers. Better Walt
Can we start a new thread for discussion of the album/people's personal opinions and descriptions of songs? As this thread has been going for weeks so it seems dumb to tag it with spoilers at this stage.
Just got the dispatch notification from the record store in Sheffield I used to buy the album. Seems it was posted today - it'll be a while before.I get it here in Italy of course, but I guess it's likely that some people will be getting copies delivered tomorrow?
I'm visiting home, and weirdly am in the very same room I was in when WLL leaked - reading of it on this forum and I became just too excited. I can still even remember the little pop-up pale blue HTML page with the track listing, and stopped up until 3am downloading over a slow modem; Wickerman took a long, long time. The temptation is very strong, and given where I am it'd be almost poetic, but I think I can hold off, I'd like to listen on Friday night with a nice bottle of wine (Grown Up, now)

Me too, says posted today from Sheffield, so I expect it'll arrive on Thursday. I'm out all day Thursday, and won't get back until after midnight (King Creosote concert), so I might be More'ing until dawn.
Loved the stories in this thread. Can't remember 1st listen of WLL, but I remember taking my sony discman into work the day TIH came out, so I could buy it at Our Price and listen on my lunch break. Took an unauthorised long lunch break that day, and got sacked a few weeks later because I skived off for a gig, and gave a very feeble excuse - getting sacked always felt like an achievement for me... I have not thrived in life.
I've had a lot going on in my life lately and to have the consistent love of Pulp and to go into this album this week, something I've dreamed of for so long it all still feels just a bit weird like it's not really happening.

Whatever's been going on, I hope the universe is sorting it all out for you, lipglossed. New Pulp is a lovely distraction to have.

I hope everyone has such a good release day tomorrow. Its just bonkers that 'More' is finally in reach. My semi consolation (maybe) because the sun rises a bit quicker my side of the world is that when the clock goes midnight I am hoping that I'll be able to at least have access to the mp3s that come with some of the bounty goods I ordered from their website. Can only hope - or maybe its set to UK time. I have 3 x Pulp tshirts. Not sure which one to wear. I got one of the Pulp tshirts as part of the bundle for the Paul Burgess Hardcore book. Its been in plastic and never worn. I feel that this is as good a time as ever.
Congratulations everyone. A strange thing to say but I feel like we've all kept the faith - kept the lights on whether its here or PulpWiki / Acrylic Afternoons ( I have been visiting that website since 1999!!) / blogs / reddit / personal collections etc etc. With all the incredible reviews / gigs / books in the last 2-3 years and people banging on about how special this band is I feel a tiny bit vindicated. Not in a snobby way - just like yeah they are pretty bloody amazing.
Oh and you know its real when you can add 'More' to your Discogs collection.

What a great way of putting it. You're right, on many days since the split in 2002 when no one, not even the band themselves, seemed to care much about Pulp, we very much "kept the lights on"!
Bar Italia got a credit in the 2006 deluxe editions and Pulpwiki in both Jarvis' lyrics book and Mark's visual history (Acrylic Afts also thanked in the latter). I think a little bit of More should be for us too!
I'll get my More the day after tomorrow, Saturday will be my Pulp day.
They're gonna sell a lot, I think they did already but on D-day or this weekend, their bankers are gonna blush
Anyone else missing a download code with their records ?
Received my White Label, and Isha Dot version, both are polar opposites - really impressed by the Dot version, just a shame no download code. The White Label is a bit boring - but that's cos it's a white label haha. However - my vinyl has 100% been played, there's scuffs on it and finger prints ?
