Pulp - Intro: The Gift Recordings (Record Store Day '24)
This collection, originally released in October 1993, just prior to the band’s Island debut, includes all the singles Pulp recorded for Gift Records, including both the A- and B-sides. From the opening track, Space, Pulp’s confidence and talent for creating terrific pop singles – is in evidence. Songs such as U., Razzamatazz and Babies showcase their signature sound – tight pop melodies and a theatrical approach that echoes the art rock of Roxy Music and David Bowie, but with their unique twist. The compilation includes the original single mix version of Babies, released in 1992, and slightly different from the 1994 version available on the album His ‘n’ Hers. Sheffield: Sex City, a three-part story, features a spoken vocal contribution from keyboardist Candida Doyle (one of the rare times her voice is audible on a Pulp song) reciting a selection from the book My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
