Ian, I'm unsure what to make of this!

Oops! Rest assured, they are not my words . 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.

That's great to hear, I can see your name in the list now.

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

 It just called me the same thing!

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

 This is very true!!

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

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

 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.

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.

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

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.

Can we use the news on DC30 to find more WLL devotees to sign..?

By the way hope you put that guy straight on Threads.

On instagram I made a comment about hoping a We Love Life special edition would follow the Different Class reissue under Marks post and he liked it. It may mean nothing but if the band are in conversations with Universal about other reissues maybe its potentially on the agenda.

A naked protest outside Universal's office?

It seems to have stalled at 380 signatures (~15%).

Yes, a day of action would be a great idea. Tomorrow is the 24th anniversary of "We Love Life" but probably too late as it would take a bit more planning.

The petition has a presence on Instagram, X, Bluesky, TikTok and I have shared in Facebook groups. Does anyone have any other ideas how we can boost awareness?

In terms of celebrity endorsement, Nick did share one of my posts on Bluesky so he certainly implied that he would be up for it. As per a previous post, an ex-member (Steven Havenhand) has signed the petition. I did find a few ex-members on Facebook and sent them messages but I think they fell victim to a spam filter.

Handing out flyers with QR codes on at concerts would be a good idea (I have got a friend who is a printer and would provide them at cost price) but there's nothing planned just yet. They were playing to audiences of over 10,000 people this summer so even a couple of hundred signatures from those would give the campaign a decent boost.

I may contact Universal just to ask if they would consider releasing some of the unheard material. I severely doubt it but the album's 25th anniversary is next year so you never know...
