Pulp – It

Re-mastered and repackaged with new 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. This was Pulp’s debut and one of their most honest recordings – capturing a band at the beginning of their startling career – ‘It’ is a gentle, mainly acoustic album that hints at the musical directions they would later pursue. The album touches on the majestic, theatrical ballads of Scott Walker, as well as the stark, folky song poems of Leonard Cohen – an album by a young band trying to pinpoint their direction, and absorbing many an influence from all around, ‘It’ has aged beautifully into a charming collection.
