Listen In!
Ahaha. (Haha.)
If you’ve read my tops-of-all-time list or anything I’ve posted about britpop, you know that Pulp is among my favorite bands of ever. Who does sleazysexycroonery as well as Jarvis Cocker? Nobody! (Though Greg Dulli might think he comes close.)
This month three of Pulp’s best albums (1994’s His ‘n’ Hers, 1995’s Different Class, and 1998’s This is Hardcore) have been released in 2CD remastered “Deluxe” editions, the original-but-touched-up records on the first disc and demos, alternate takes, b-sides and live cuts taking up the second. These are pretty much a must for any fan of the band.
