I kind of wish they still did CD singles. I'd buy one of this.

Same for 7". I'd love a 7inch single for Spike Island. It would be cool to see some kind of boxset of all the pulp single in several formats, like suede did for their singles and albums

The rehearsal of Trees is gorgeous. A real shame they haven't brought it out yet. Festivals and arenas aren't the place for it, admittedly. Silly Billys releasing it as a single in the first place...

 

And S:SC...

I remember it being great live that night at Sheff Arena in 2012 and seeing it on the DVD Extras of the film but wow, this is like the pinnacle of everything fun, different and inventive about Pulp with real musical muscle behind it. Incredible.

The familiar tracks are not just copied from other albums as you might reasonably suspect, there are slight differences.

Live On (from His 'n' Hers Deluxe) and Common People (from The Peel Sessions) are full quality versions, only without the mastering from those albums (which made the volume more consistent throughout). Duck Diving, on the other hand (also from The Peel Sessions) is in a lossy format, most noticeable in the quiet sections. Death Comes to Town is indeed the alternative mix (aka "Mix 1" on the Pulp Portfolio) and seems to have been sourced from the same lossy MP3 that Stephen used.

Sheffield: Sex City isn't just lifted from the Pulp film extras, it's got an extra section at the start. And in comparing them, I've only just realised the UK PAL DVD is sped up by ~4% and so this is the first time I've heard this at the right speed and pitch.

I suspect cost is why they don't do that.  Paul Wellers last LP, 66, was released as six singles for £66 or so.  The 13 singles from Lip Gloss to Bad Cover Version would retail at close to £150.  Though I guess there are a few here that would buy them.

I would say that it is against the rules. However, as most people don't have CD players/drives nowadays, I think that one person ripping it and sharing with others who have bought the CD is justified. It would probably be more appropriate to share the link with people privately.

The rules are from a bygone era pre-Spotify (2007) and somewhat irrelevant nowadays.  To put it into context, many of the RSD exclusives are up on Spotify and other streaming services today.  The MOJO CD is unique in that it isnt and wont be available anywhere else after the June issue is err, pulped.  Also, as a fan, I generally get hacked off with people selling these freebie CDs online, so for those who cannot get a copy of MOJO as I guess it is only UK based it is good they can get an audio copy.  And I suspect any Pulp fan worth their salt will be at WH Smith buying a copy this week.

I will let the administrator of the forum make the final decision

Where is Ste? He ain't been seen for years. If anything could bring him back, surely it would be Pulp Come Alive In '25?

On His'n'Hers on the Mojo CD they also seem to have added in a couple of "What makes you frightened?" responses from the Butt Naked TV appearance. Thankfully, they've chosen this version as the wasps/bees Jarvis monologue is un-paralleled.

Also, seems I was wrong about Sliding Thru Life On Charm - the words were always written for Marianne Faithful. There's a fair bit of chugging guitar on this (Candida's absence clearly felt) but it's still a decent song with some fantastic lyrics.

Feeling Called Love (can't do the caps, sorry), it's just another kinda boring Moloko remix, unfortunately.
The Babies acoustic with Jarvis and Tim is well-performed. There's a nice moment when the audience recognise the guitar line near the start.

It's a fascinating selection, all told.

I do hope, as has been suggested on here, that this CD is a taster for a full anthology Pulp release in the next year or two. How amazing would that be? There could be several discs-worth of stuff on there. I guess it would be regarded as more sellable than a WLL deluxe.

 Honestly such a shame that they didn't rotate the UK festival setlist more. Weeds and BCV could've been rotated with Trees, Dishes with Like a Friend, Lipgloss with Razzmatazz, and it would all have been just a bit fresher. (I really do hope all these songs make repeat airings how I'd love to be there for Lipgloss once more!)

I haven't heard from him for years and he hasn't accessed this forum since 2019. I was friends with him on Facebook but it looks like he deleted his account. He has always been a huge Pulp fan (well, of course, he created this forum) so I would have expected him to pop up when the reunion was announced. Perhaps he has just moved on and has no interest in the forum any more.

Thanks for sharing. FWIW I will be buying the magazine, not just to add the CD to my collection but cos I think it's increasingly important to support these publications when they give us good content like this (we'll miss them when they're gone).

Its a shame the old pulp.gb.com disappeared many years ago and never was resurrected.  The forum was somewhat incidental.  I think many of the posts from the original forum made their way on here, so they were preserved, but alas the website content is long lost.

Luckily, it's all in the Internet Archive. Sté's reviews were great, I often go back and re-read them.

Ok Sliding Through... sounds a bit like a throaway I have not heard the released version, but yeah, bside at best.

Fun fact, if you look at the source code for the forum, it's still attempting to show a background image from the old site (http://www.pulp.gb.com/pinkswirl2.gif, fact fans). Maybe a header image too. The background image certainly still exists on archive.org. Is there any way we might be able to get it reinstated for old times' sake?

The moderators dont have access to change things like the page layout, so you are stuck with it as it stands unless the administrator returns.

I have had a look before and some of my old reviews are on there. I was around 15 at the time and I must admit, a lot of my opinions have changed since. In respect of "I'm a Man", when I first heard it, I immediately thought that it would be a huge hit but then I went off it when they played it live.

 Most gladdening to see that l'admin fromage grand had such stellar choice when it came to picking his favourite Pulp song of all! And hopefully the band will opt to give it another airing this summer (only when I'm there, of course...)

Christ it's weird seeing the 2005 version of the forum, with the 20-years-ago versions of us shooting the breeze.

I didn't realise Steve D still had ultimate control of this forum. Does that potentially mean we're potentially living on borrowed time somewhat? Like if some techy thing (I don't know what) happens that requires admin intervention, we'd be stuffed. ArrGee is it worth getting in touch with Activeboard and asking if you can be given full control, given the circs?

Activeboard is pretty good in that it will run itself without any interference.  I have administered another for 20 years or so after an err hostile takeover and havent raised a support ticket since 2013.  If something extreme did occur, I can get in contact but there are lots of activeboard forums out there and there is no reason to believe anything untoward will happen.

Got it at WHSmiths at lunchtime (soon to disappear from the high street). Nice little editorial bit too from John Mulvey about his first encounter with the group (OU launch). Look forward to reading the article later. Had a glance and they've paid homage to Russell and Steve too so it seems properly researched and written. Pretty sure the journalist has done articles and interviews on Pulp/Jarvis before.

It's a well-written article, basically a potted history of the band with seemingly a lot of new quotes from various parties, with some discussion of the present. Pretty candid too, referencing the unresolved falling out of Mark and Russ, and Jarvis admitting he now hasn't spoke to the latter for many years since the 2011 reunion gigs.

We even get a few teasing lyrics from the as yet unheard "Tina" (talk of charity shops and digestives).
