"Got to Have Love" has now been released as the second single from "More"

Well, I was lucky enough to hear it and see the video last night as someone ripped it then uploaded it to Reddit before quickly taking it down.

What can I say? It's probably their most up-front and in your face single since "Disco 2000" and the final version further reinforces my initial thoughts that it would have been a huge hit in 2000/2001. I always considered the instrumental demo as b-side material and never seriously considered what the vocal version may sound like. 

Not too sure about the video, it is certainly fun but it must be the only Pulp video that does not feature the band in some way or other (even as cardboard cutouts, Jarvis on the TV or AI animated photos.

I love this song. Feels urgent. 

And those strings, perfect.

I've scoured the Pulpmania archive but I can't find that "Got to have love" chorus.. Where the heck have I heard that before?
Is it one of the Deluxe albums or something?

I love it. It's great to hear the lyrics and vocals properly. Like Spike Island, the recorded version seems to have raised the game from what was already an excellent demo/live version

 The 1999 demo leaked years ago, it can be downloaded from my website.

Check out Pulp's new single, 'Got To Have Love' if you can. It's the sound of the summer.

Bloody hell, there are a lot more there than I remember there being! Did more come to light over the years?

Never listened to Got To Have Love before. In any form. But bloody hell, it's an absolute banger. The new one, that is. Can't believe they sat on it for 26 years...

Sitting and listening on the big speakers with a glass of red wine & absolutely loving it.

I think the vocals are a bit low compared to Spike Island, but all in all it's a bloody belter.

It does sound like it could have been recorded a while ago, though it obviously wasn't. Edit: I think what I'm getting at there is that it has a timeless Pulp quality about it, which is helped by the fact that it was initially written long ago.

I'm glad they brought it back and did it justice!

Probably just me, but I keep hearing Anorexic Beauty in the mix. Dunno why...

The spoken word bit in the radio edit is a different recording... I REALLY like it. I hope it gets a release of its own.

I think the drums are pretty different to the previously heard versions. They are more complex in the studio recording

Lovely to see Steve listed in the credits. I'm surprised in a way that the extended band from this era are also listed as writers (including Nick Ingman....who he?).

The bones of the song remains the same as the 1999 demo. It now has bells and whistles thanks to Ford's production, Mark's lead-guitar and of course Jarvis' vocal melody for the verses and his spoken-word bit.

It seems generous of Jarvis/Pulp to cut-in another five people on the publishing.

Mix is a bit weird though. Synth and voice too low in the mix i thought, but hey, cant complain. They wanted it to be a drum n bass song obviously.

Same feeling here! Song is great, but I hear Jarvis' voice struggling a little bit, specially at first. Unpopular opinion: i think i like more "Spike Island", sorry... Not so danceable, obviously, but closer to the classic Pulp sound.

 I listened again looking for that and I could get bits in the instrumental sections after the first two choruses, especially a couple of twangs after the second chorus as it drops for the spoken work section.

  The spoken word bit seems much more immediate than they normally do, like Jarvis is talking down your ear. Startled me a bit the first time on the radio. The radio edit is only half of that section, without the rambly first half. Would "ponce" have got through the radio edit or have to be dipped like "jerking"? It always amuses me that "screw" had to be replaced in 1994 on DYRTFT but was acceptable by 1995.

Really good!

Question - is it just me or is the audio quality on the YouTube video a bit off? The vocals in particular just seem to pop more on Spotify.

I thought it sounded like a weird gap between the Separations Era and His n Hers Era. Or like a distant sister of We Can Dance Again. Both songs were rejected back then because they did not belong to their era apparently.

Yeah, snap on the Separations era feeling. It calls to mind We Can Dance Again for me though which is obviously later. I'm not a fan of WCDA but absolutely love this. I only got to listen on my phone yesterday but today I can blast it out of the speaker which brings outthe bass guitar and drums so much more. I am looking forward to buying an actual physical copy to realy do justice to the sound because I can listen then on a proper system.
Loving the drums. Nick could've done something more simplistic but loving it. It really booms out of a speaker this song. Brilliant. Well done lads and lassies. It's a cracker.

Edit: meant to say as well - the spoken word bit. Shivers down the spine. That's brilliant that.
