Luckily I got a Mojo subscription recently; 3 issues for £3.

Anyone know the release date? Or should we wait 'til it drops through ArrGee's letterbox and we find it's five Motiv8 remixes and Glastonbury '95?? :)

Or is it going to be the other side of the spectrum? The full 1983 Fish & Breadcake concert?

Prediction - remixes of More material, S:SC instrumental and live versions of songs at gigs that were professionally recorded like Glastonbury 2011, Sheffield Arena 2012 and Hammersmith 2023. 1982...God knows!

Would be shocked if it contains demos we haven't previously heard.

Doubt they'll use anything from Fire Records, but as it says 1982, maybe some of the earlier bits that Jarvis has dug out in the past - What Do You Say, Sickly Grin etc. Something from the Marples tape?! Doubt it...

I do know there is Sheffield Sex City, Babies and Trees included - so I presume these to be the live tracks, S:SC maybe instrumental although that did get released on Babies....

Violin Thing has already mentioned this.

I wonder what soundboard-quality stuff of note that the band have in their archives. Would be great to hear the debut of WLL era songs from Venice in '99, Cuckoo Song especially.

3 issue option is only available in the UK contemplating a 6 month trial just for the cd

I'm extremely optimistic about this! In the absence of any further anthologies or collections - which we've heard Jarvis simply isn't interested in - this could be their chance to actually sneak out some bits and pieces for us, without making us buy the albums again to get them.

We still need the full lot. We know there's about 18 unreleased (15 unheard) WLL session tracks - a double cd on their own. At most here i think we'll be lucky to get 2 of them.

If More does the business, Universal will be more likely to show an interest in the Pulp catalogue and piggy-back on its success.

True. Although its possible Rough Trade controls them now, as they've released After You and have Got To Have Love coming too.

 

In fact this whole cd combining the Fire, Island and Rough Trade eras suggests RT might have been quietly acquiring/consolidating all the rights?

Hopefully its got Silence (Extended Mix) on it..

 Been saying this. The people are clamoring for more versions of Silence!

Do Mojo have form for releasing a front cover CD for an archive of one particular artist?

I know they often do (or did) albums of songs related to the cover artist in other ways - covers by less well-known musicians, or a compilation of the featured artist's favourites etc.

But I don't know if this breaks new ground. Or if it has happened before, I wonder what we can expect ie number of tracks, sound quality of unreleased/rare/live material etc.

Most libraries (around the world) have PressReader which is digital editions of Magazines and Newspapers. Keep a look out in the next fortnight I think for when June issue will become available.
