I take it to mean the Nick and Candy songs were demo'd with other More material before they started working with James Ford but not taken any further apart from the mixing by Jason. Jarvis told Hot Press in May that they only had one tune left over from the album sessions, he couldn't think of appropriate lyrics and felt it didn't suit the mood of the album.
Presumably The Man Comes Around was done "properly", ie not during a demo session and more recently. Around the time of the Red Rock gig where they were going to play it live?
Bit baffled at the late Feb release date, combined with the 'albums of the year edition' tag.
I used to buy some of the albums of the year bundles, with exclusive bonus discs, but they always come out in the run up to Christmas, i.e. now, not 3 months from now. Described as a 'festive bonus'... maybe the date's wrong.
Dread to think what I've spent on Pulp this year, and I haven't even seen them live.

Surely they are preparing a new release for christmas with a bonus CD. I mean, it would be a mistake not to do it.
I highly doubt there will be a CD version until the lucrative 12" record business is over. I can't stand this business, but that's the way it is. I really miss the glory days of CD (DVD) singles/B-sides.
