Record Store Day 2026 - any Pulp? - Bar Italia Forum

The full list of titles should "drop" soon. Pulp/Universal don't tend to bother that often with this annual ritual, the LP re-release of Intro being the main exception a couple of years ago.

Fire jumped on-board a few years prior with a Little Girl vinyl reissue (think the most recent version of Everybody's Problem also came out on RSD?)

More's success and the mounting number of  extra tracks/sessions/broadcast performances over the past 12 months would give Rough Trade something to mull over and put together if they were bothered.

I suspect the physical release of The Man Comes Around (maybe they should have put that out for RSD) in a few weeks and then the new Pulp song on the Help album a week later, might have put paid to any other new Pulp material for a while.

If not, personally I'd love for the Different Class 30 campaign to have a little flourish with the B-Sides and demos put onto vinyl. Second Class II/Standard Class, doesn't have to have the bells and whistles of the DC30 box.

Anyone have a specific Pulp request?

I think that the list has already been published and I saw an email from the Suede mailing list earlier detailing their releases:

Sigh...oh well, maybe next year. They are leaving money on the table on occasions like these. Two releases for Suede, including one of all demos! Plus a vinyl reissue of The Tears only album - I think Bernard Butler said he remixed it a few years ago to take away the overly-polished original production he put on it. A missed opportunity to bring that out.

Damn Pulp and their quality control, they might not want to listen to the Disco 2000 version with a crap keyboard playing the defining riff of their commercial career, but I'm sure there are many of us who do!

I thought Hits might get its vinyl debut but we may have to wait for that.

I like the look of The Human League Being Boiled Expanded 12", keep it Sheff at least.

If my memory serves, all of the tracks on "Hits" are album versions so they already exist on vinyl. I think that "Last Day of the Miners Stike" is the only song that doesn't. 

I think that even the single versions of "Common People" and "Disco 2000" were reissued on vinyl in 1996. I don't think the single version of "Party Hard" was ever released on vinyl. 

Perhaps some sort of rehashed version including the aforementioned single versions, "After You" and the singles released since then would be more appropriate. That would probably be a 4LP set. 

Oh, and if the recording of "Emmanuel" is releasable, then maybe that could be thrown in for good measure...

I was just thinking, Fire have enough material in the vaults to fill an LP. They could pretty much do a rehash of "Separations" using alternative versions:

• Love is Blind (1989 demo)
• Don't You Want Me Anymore (FON demo)
• She's Dead (1989 demo)
• Separations (1989 demo)
• Down by the River (1989 demo)
• Countdown (1989 demo)
• Rattlesnake (FON demo)
• Death II (1989 demo)
• This House is Condemned (alternative version)

I don't think that there is an alternative version of "My Legendary Girlfriend" and I'm pretty sure that they are able to release FON material as they have already. There is also an alternative version of "Master of the Universe" and the re-recording of "Manon" has never been reissued so these could possibly be added on. I don't think Jarvis will ever relent on "Silence" though...

 None of this is in Fire's vault. Pulp will have most of it; there may be other stuff in Alan Smyth's personal archive.

Probably no one wants it anyway (well probably someone on here does!) but I always found it weird that Jarvis could put his foot down to stop Silence being rereleased when he couldnt stop other Fire stuff getting rereleased like the compilations and reissues in the 90s.

With Silence / Masters, I think it was a case of him asking and them respecting his wishes. With the other stuff, I guess they just went ahead and licenced it to whoever. It was all stuff that was out on CD anyway, so I don't suppose it made any odds really.

What other stuff might they have done with Al Smyth?

Not certain but I had the impression he had various work tapes / interim mixes from the Seps sessions.
