Pulped - Fire reissue three early albums

Article written by Paul M - Dec 12, 2011

Pulp - later

Fire are reissuing the first three Pulp albums. The trio, 'It' (1983), 'Freaks' (1987) and 'Separations' (1992) will be available on 20 February 2012.

You can hear a track from each of them here:

'Blue Girls' from Fire's reissue of Pulp's 1983 debut 'It (2012)'

‘Little Girl (with Blue Eyes)’ from Fire's reissue of Pulp's second album, ‘Freaks (2012)'

'My Legendary Girlfriend' from Fire's reissue of Pulp's third album, ‘Separations (2012)'

Fire Records will be reissuing the first three Pulp albums in February 2012 as part of their Embers series. Constituting three very different stages in the development of the band, the albums cover the pastoral, acoustic sounds of 'It', to the darkly romantic 'Freaks' and the disco-tinged 'Separations'. They point to Jarvis Cocker's varied sources of musical inspiration and show a band in the process of finding their own unique voice, whilst hinting at the greatness that would follow. All three come newly re-mastered and repackaged, complete with additional bonus material and brand new liner-notes by Everett True.
