Niche 2019 remasters Question

On 11th July 2019, Jarvis and Steve were pictured at Abbey Road with Geoff Pesche 'working on something special'. Geoff Pesche was one of the team who mastered Different Class back in 1995.

Facebook

Some commenters - including Eamonn of this very parish - suggested it was remasters.

25th October 2019 saw the remasters released. But they were credited only to Steve and Geoff.

But in Steve's 2022 Instagram post saying that he wouldn't be taking part in the reunions, he noted that "Jarvis and I remastered Pulp's entire Universal Records back catalogue together just over two years ago at Abbey Road Studios..."

Just trying to understand what went on. The two started working on it, but only Steve took the credit? As he was the actual hands on person? Or they started doing it together, but Jarvis bowed out for one reason or another? The Jarv Is band did play at Blue Dot festival a week later and did some European touring a few weeks after that.

Any thoughts?

Steve having become a studio whizz with production post-Pulp and Pesche being an engineer by trade, were presumably credited as they did the actual work with Jarvis popping in and out and at best an "executive master-er" ?

Fair enough.

But then Steve being polite enough to say that both he and Jarvis did the work on his insta post? Sounds possible!

What are the mixes like, btw? Anything obvious changed?

Well, he was a polite fella.

Although I have both 2019 masters released so far on vinyl - HnH in 2019 and Intro in 2024; I haven't had the audio set-up at my current abode to hear the latter.

From what I remember of His n Hers, the most revelatory part was an extra "Oh yeah!" during one of the later Lipgloss choruses.

Here are reviews from the audiophiles and moaners at Discogs. As you can see, your mileage may vary:

The 2019 remaster of His N hers ( I presume this is the very version where there is the extra "ooooh yeah" in lipgloss), blows all other versions out the ball park.
