In 2001, Pulp released "We Love Life", their fourth and final album for Island Records (now Universal). In 2006, their previous three albums for this label were reissued with bonus discs containing B-sides and unreleased material. Unfortunately, "We Love Life" has never been reissued and as a result, many songs from this period remain unreleased.

When 2,500 signatures have been received, this petition will be sent to Universal and Rough Trade Records to prove that there is demand for a deluxe edition of "We Love Life" and to ask them to consider releasing it.

Click here to sign the petition

There is shortened URL here

Please sign and share as widely as possible. I have also attached a couple of images that can be shared on social media.

I'm not sure that it works. There was 28 signatures before I signed and still 28 after I signed and still 28 two hours later...

Oops! Rest assured, they are not my words biggrin. I am unable to reproduce this error either on mobile and desktop, it shows an error telling me I have already signed which is correct and if I use a different email address, it allows me to sign as normal. Would you be ok to try again and let me know what happens?

77 people have signed yet it says 55 on the desktop version and 28 on the mobile version. Odd, I will have a look at the documentation and play around with the settings. 

55 is technically correct as this is the volume out of the 77 that have confirmed their email addresses. 

Looks like "Invalid Nonce" is an error associated with Wordpress. I did change a cache setting yesterday to see if it would resolve the error with the counter so that may be the cause of the problem.

Update: I think I have resolved the counter error. I had a cache plugin installed which I have just disabled and the counter now goes up every time someone confirms their email address.

Fantastic. Here is a theoretical back cover (assuming that all these songs are useable).

On the plus side, it's better than being called a valid nonce.

132 confirmed signatures out of 217. That's a pretty good start. I do have the facility to re-send confirmation emails to those who haven't confirmed but will wait for now.

If anyone is a member of any forums or social media groups where this may be of interest, please share. There is a link to the petition on every single page on my website and I will look at putting something on here too.

If it doesn't have Medieval Owl on it, I'm not buying it!

Probably not worth pointing out to Universal, but the 'fan fiction' version has 1.3k downloads since December: https://archive.org/details/pulp-wll

Is it worth promoting it on the Pulp reddit (www.reddit.com/r/PulpBand/) too? I don't really know how reddit works, but it seems to have 7.8k members. There's also a general Britpop one (www.reddit.com/r/BritPop/) with 18k members

 According to Mark's interview with Giles Acrylic, Medieval Owl is an instrumental version of M'Lady so we'd be covered with that...

Thank you for sharing on Reddit. I only ever use it anonymously and have never posted. I think I can email all members of this forum (about 1000), that might also send some further traffic here from those who haven't visited in a while.

Yes, "Medieval Owl", "White Owl" and "M'Lady" are the same song. Some of the others may have been working titles for songs that were eventually released and a more unlikely possibility is that there may be two songs with the same title as per "My First Wife" in 1987.

207 confirmed signatures out of 311. I have posted in a couple more Facebook groups but every time I try to post on Reddit, it gets automatically deleted by their filters which is odd. It would be great if someone else could help out with that.

There really aren't as many forums online as there were 20 years ago! I have looked and registered for a few. Let's see how it goes.

What about Instagram and TikTok? 10 seconds of footage of Jarvis wigging-out live to Sunrise 2023-25 style in silhouette with a glowing amber back-light. "Dig this? There's a lot more to Pulp than More. Sign here" etc.

You are testing my capabilities here biggrin. I have shared it as a post and story in Instagram but wouldn't know where to start with TikTok. Leave it with me and I will have a go.

Ha, I barely use Insta, don't have much of a following but some of the younger Pulponians could surely share.

This is one small step for mankind. One giant leap for me... particularly going on TikTok biggrin

 

I think I have done it right:

We're not far from the 10% mark now

Thanks everyone, we are just short of the 10% mark. I sent an email to everyone who hadn't confirmed their signature and a few have as a result.

In case anyone is interested:
My Instagram reel currently has 606 views and 54 likes
My TikTok video currently has 1004 views and 51 likes
My Threads post has 14 likes, not sure if I can see how many views

There was a slightly negative comment on Threads: someone claiming that a lot of unreleased songs from this period ended up being recorded for "More" (one did) and that the others were abandoned because they were no good (how do they know?).

Someone also commented that petitions like this are unlikely to make any difference. Well they have certainly worked for other bands/artists so it's worth a go. Even if Jarvis doesn't want to be involved but gives it his blessing due to proven demand and allows Mark to oversee the project, we would be laughing.
