Here's the rules. You have one CD-R (80 minutes). You are trying to put together the ultimate Pulp rarities disc. We don't want to use any album tracks, but b-sides are ok, and we'll allow songs off Intro and Master of the Universe as well. No live performances. Let's expand the list to include any songs written AND sung by Jarvis for any of his side projects.
Put together an entire tracklisting if you want, or just make a case for a song.
As you might have figured out, I'm trying to put just such a CD together. I don't want to forget anything. It's not easy, you know. Pulp songs tend to be so long that you almost have to drop a few good songs.
Alright then. Here's what I've come up with. Bear in mind, I don't have the new reissues yet.
1. Please Don't Worry 2. There Was... 3. Srpski Jeb 4. Maureen 5. Rattlesnakes 6. Your Sister's Clothes 7. Seconds 8. His 'n' Hers 9. Street Lites 10. Live On 11. The Night 12. Le Roi De Fourmis 13. Ladies' Man 14. The Professional 15. Cocaine Socialism 16. My Body May Die 17. Forever in My Dreams 18. Grandfather's Nursery
Interesting. Your list is mostly chronological. I think I'd mix them up for the sake of variety. You also leave out all the DC-era rarities? Hmmm.
I'm thinking of starting the CD with "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Pelvis". It's kind of daft, but also kind of brilliant. A good attention grabber, don't you think?
Yeah, I feel rather strongly that all the good DC-era songs are on DC. (well, except for "Mile End" but that hardly counts as a rarity.) Wheras all the other Island albums have b-sides, outtakes that are often just as strong as the album tracks.
Of course i might change my mind once I get my DC reissue in the mail.
I'm thinking of replacing "Le Roi..." or maybe one of the Hardcore b-sides with "All Time High."
1. Common People (Motiv 8 Club Mix) 2. Rattlesnake 3. Death Comes to Town 4. Styloroc (Nites of Suburbia) 5. She's a Lady (Mark Goodier session) 6. Live On (Mark Goodier session) 7. You're Not Blind 8. His 'n' Hers 9. Your Sister's Clothes 10. Mile End 11. You Are the One 12. The Professional 13. It's a Dirty World 14. Cocaine Socialism 15. Last Day of the Miners' Strike 16. This is Hardcore (End of the Line remix)
1. The Boss 2. Le Roi Des Fourmis 3. O.U. 4. Your Sister's Clothes 5. Live On 6. Pink Glove 7. Love Is Blind 8. Death Comes to Town 9. Frightened 10. Seconds 11. Catcliffe Shakedown 12. You're a Nightmare 13. The Laughing Boy 14. Sheffield: Sex City 15. His 'n' Hers
maybe not the rarest of the rare, but definately something on there that would make someone ask, 'how big of a hit was that?', to which you can relpy, 'never on an album' and blow their minds.
1- Set the Controls for the Heart of the Pelvis 2- Seconds 3- Street Lites 4- PTA 5- There Was 6- Blue Glow 7- THe Babysitter 8- The Boss 9- Srpski Jeb 10- Catcliffe Shakedown 11- I Picked A Flower 12- You’re Not Blind 13- Glass / Sister’s Clothes 14- Death Goes to Town 15- My Body May Die 16- Tuff it Out 17- Rattlesnakes 18- Ciao
I like to mix things up a little bit so it doesn't get boring. Slow things down then speed it up again. But I feel like I'm forgetting something very important. What do you think?

Maureen?
As for me, I'm already thinking of retooling mine slightly. Think I'll take out Le Roi... and Ladies Man, and put PTA and All Time High in there instead.
It's not exactly what you're after for this i know, but I actually made a friend of mine a Pulp 90's b-side disc not long ago, banning remixes and sticking to the main b-sides for the sake of introducing him to the band a little deeper.
Here goes:
Your Sister's Clothes Seconds His 'n' Hers PTA Mile End Street Lites The Babysitter You're A Nightmare Ansaphone Tomorrow Never Lies Laughing Boy Like A Friend Ladies' Man The Professional We Are The Boyz The Is Hardcore [End of the Line] Cocaine Socialism
He was amazed at how easy it was to sculpt a perfect pop album from non-album material in basically chronological order. It also splits into 2 halves quite neatly.
Clearly i have been outdone above, but i'd urge anyone trying to sincerely pass on the Pulp to try that playlist.
On second thought, I don't think that The Boss should directly follow The Babysitter. The Boss needs to come in after a slow song. I would move Babysitter down two slots after Srpski Jeb. That's better.
I keep wanted to put "Le Roi", but I can never find the place for it.
