PULP - It (Repress) - LP - Vinyl

LP - 140g Black Vinyl. Includes download code.

Pulp's debut album from 1983 is given a welcome repress via Fire / Cargo. It is a gentle, mainly acoustic album that gives very few signs to the musical directions Pulp would later pursue. Lacking any hint of synthesizers or dance music, the album occasionally touches on the majestic, theatrical ballads of Scott Walker, as well as the stark, folky song poems of Leonard Cohen.

Highlights include the light opening single "My Lighthouse" or the silly, music hall stomp of "Love Love." Although technically not as strong as the later albums it has an effortless, amateurish charm that makes up for the unformed songs and the band's rudimentary musical skills.

Re-mastered and repackaged liner notes by Everett True and featuring 4 bonus tracks, including single version of 'My Lighthouse' and an alternative mix of 'Blue Girls', the previously unreleased 'Sink or Swim' and 'Please Don't Worry' from Pulp's John Peel session in 1981.
