I haven't heard of these. Anyone know if they are retailed in shops? I'll use that link if not, but I like bricks & mortar when I can.

Bought my cooy and it's a bit of a strange hybrid beast. Imagine a music mag about Pulp but seemingly curated by Pulp. I haven't done much but browse through but it looks like some interesting stuff in there. However, if you're not a fan of Scott, Spacemen 3 or the VU it might be slim pickings!

is the poster good? I cant wait to get this!

 It's double sided; More one side and DC the other. It's quite nice actually.

The poster is great - all the individual DC cut-out scenes. I was hoping the online shop would start selling the posters shown at the Rio Cinema DC30 playback. The paper quality of this Uncut one isn't great but still, the Different Class outtakes look so good, collected together and might be worth framing. Interesting 'shape' too, it's long and portrait rather than wide/landscape which might have been more expected.

Noticed that the More sleeve on the reverse actually says "More?". Are Pulp teasing and trolling us... ?

The mag looks great, just had a quick scan through. I was happy to see my local train station had it in the newspaper and magazines rack. I got mine at WHS Smith at Heathrow, welcome reading material for me flight.

 Couldn't find it anywhere when I was out and about today.  Will try again at WHSmith.

The poster that it comes with - has a question mark after the 'more'.

Is this a hint?

 I know the official story is "no more songs left from More sessions". but what if they record more More songs. Like 22, and a More Sequel is coming next year ?

There is one song left from the sessions. Just needs to be finished.

After that maybe a new era. Not more More, maybe Less. Less strings and more guitars would be a welcome departure!

I rarely believe the official story published by bands anymore, as we know it's rarely true for any band. It could be, but also not. But there's always a storytelling in place which is almost always not reality. 

I agree though, a more guitar based album would be nice though. Somewhere heavier maybe. 

Its really rather nice reading what feels like a throwaway pop mag about Pulp that is new and on sale now. The Q&A articles, lists of favourite albums, even the grotty paper that could scarcely handle your fish and chips. Its pulp, isnt it? Pop, pulp, Pulp. For a fleeting moment, I looked at it through teenaged eyes.

Though realising that the magazine was priced about the same, or maybe higher, than the albums on cassette made my eyes feel 40 again. Ive a test booked next week for my first pair of varifocals. Will still be sticking with thick NHS frames though, of course

I would also like to have read more quotes from the non-core Pulp players. Great to hear a bit from Emma and Andrew but there was nowt from Jason, Adam or Rich.

 Haven't read my copy yet, in fact still haven't read the November Uncut, or even I'm With Pulp... I have a quiet 6 weeks ahead of me to catch up.

But yes, the new Pulp members, and how it all worked for More is what I want to know more about. They all seem to play with other artists / groups, which I guess is the only way to earn a living as a musician now, but I wonder how much they feel a part of Pulp or is it just a gig? Will the next Pulp album feature this lineup or the Core4 and other musicians - will have to wait and see.

For Rich, I was interested in this video, where he elaborates a little on his involvement in the More writing process, and how his string arrangements could be adapted reactively in the moment and for the different sized live shows. So, turns out he isn't just scrolling social media.

Still haven't read mine (on p.16), but I did notice that the front cover has "WHSMITH COPY" printed with the barcode (bought from TG Jones), so I wonder if there are any different issues?
