Pulp – Separations

Pulp’s 1992 album ‘separations’ is part of the fire embers reissue series with unreleased bonus material.

Their third and last album on fire, pulp had already transformed from their debut ‘it’ through the dark electronic phase of freaks and were garnering significant momentum. now critically acclaimed and with a live reputation matched by only a few, most of the songs on separations sound fully-realised in that undeniably pulp manner that was soon to be experienced everywhere. and, for the first time, there was an inescapable disco pulse. this is the transition album where pulp, caught between a doomed romantic outsider past and an acid-bright future, made an album that brilliantly reflects both. remastered and repackaged. liner notes by everett true. featuring 4 bonus tracks ‘death goes to the disco’ and ‘is this house’, as well as an extended version of the single ‘countdown’ and the previously unreleased ‘death comes to town’. separations spawned two of pulps most successful singles to date in ‘countdown and ‘my legendary girlfriend’ with the latter being placed on many top singles of 1991 lists by major music publications. pulp’s ‘it’ and ‘freaks’ will be reissued at the same time for the complete pulp on fire collection.
