Not me ! not really into the listening parties. It's kinda weird. Like a gig where you dont know the songs. 

My first listens of every album is almost alone, on the couch, headphones on. Dont wanna be disturbed by someone shooting "this does not sound like common people" or whatever biggrin

So wtf do you do at a listening party? Do people sit around and listen or what? Is it just on in the shop while you browse around? I'm the same really, Andy. Prefer to have my cup of tea and a biccie and sit listening in peace without other people around. I'll likely go just for Pulp though but wondering what to expect.

Must have a listen to that, Eamonn, this evening. Thanks for letting me know. Didn't buy Hotpress yet

I'm not sure I could think of anything worse than trying to come to terms with some important new music, in a room full of strangers. Give me 4 complete play throughs by myself (twice on vinyl, once in the car and once on MP3 player walking about), then I might talk to someone about it. Blimey, I won't even talk about a film I've seen at the cinema with anyone till the following day.

Newcastle one is in Reflex. The shop is tiny, hard even to shop in, shuffling past people all the time, waiting patiently (grumpily patiently) to get to where you want to get to. Not a comfortable place to absorb an album over 40-50mins. Agree with some others: alone, headphones, sofa. Went to a listening party years ago, Suede Head Music, but it was in an intimate dark club, quite nice, and snagged a huge promo item.

That being said, I want those badges and that pen. Haven't had one of those multi-pens in years, was just fancying one a few weeks ago. Wonder what the orange rectangle is? Grim that there's ANOTHER exclusive vinyl to track down.

Yeah, sort of curious. Was geared up though to take Friday 6th off to go and buy the CD and enjoy listening at home. Sure I might do the two.

The podcast was an enjoyable listen, Eamonn thanks. I couldn't get in at your link cos I don't have Spotify but I got in here:
www.hotpress.com/music/pulp-episode-of-hot-press-classics-out-now-feat-jarvis-****er-23085404

And clicked on the podcast down near the bottom of that page.
There's not one dud on that album. I won't hear tell of anyone suggesting Monday Morning is a weak link of any kind!

Absolutely. I've waited 24 years, I can wait another week.

Hmm...you guys/gals are making me reconsider trying to attend one of these. I rang a couple of the participating London shops today to see if any of them were doing this at a reasonable time (ie not 3pm on a workday) and did get the impression that it might just be the album played on the shop's sound system but not much in the way of bells and whistles, or even chairs to sit down in... so yeah, it might be difficult to pay proper attention to the musical talent and lyrical expertise on this long-awaited album.

Listening parties is another marketing thing, isn't it. I mean, it's cool if you want to meet people with the same taste, but not for a new album.

Especially one you've been waiting for, for 25 years. Anyway, i'm sure some people like that and i dont judge, it's just not my thing. Ive done lots of Gig meetup and that was fun though, but then you already know the songs. I mean, i dont know, music is sacred for me, and those first listens are priceless. It's a guilty pleasure.

There's one in Napoli? Amazing. I'd never have expected it. The place they're holding it - Fonoteca - is a sort of combined record store/bar/gallery. So I guess we'll just grab a table and a few beers and hear it for the first time together.

It's only a day before the official release though, and a week after it's played in the Rough Trade shops in the UK. So I'm sure it'll have leaked by then. But will I be able to resist listening to it?

Leaks are a thing of the past now, aren't they?

Not sure what happens at a listening party nowadays but I assume that they would either play a physical copy or some sort of stream, perhaps each store has a login to access this. An employee could easily rip a physical copy and I'm sure that there are ways of ripping or recording a live stream. Therefore, a leak is certainly possible.

I'm going to Action Records in Preston for their listening party. The owner Gordon has owned the shop and company for like over 40 years, maybe more - it's a small shop so it'll be a great atmosphere. Another variant of the bloody record though.....

Won't post it here obviously, but the video is just an edit of this 1977 Tony Palmer documentary.

I saw it on Reddit and couldn't resist a play.

It sounds incredible track wise but the quality isn't 100% (maybe as it's a rip)

The only complaint I have it Jarvis' vocals sound a little low in the mix but again it might be fixed in the official release tomorrow (?)

This album can't come quick enough!

I find it a hard listen having bad the song for nearly 26 years albeit in a rough demo. However to hear how it has been. developed, and with lyrics.... It's like a new song all over again. What a ****ing fantastic song. It's up there. I'm telling you.
