I'm listening as I am currently reading Truth & Beauty: The Story of Pulp by Mark Sturdy. Mainstream success may have been slow to arrive but in 1981, the band here were aged between 16 and 18... and they were recording a John Peel Session. Remarkable!
I saw them at the Bouquet of Steel all-dayer at the Leadmill in August 1980, about 15 months before they recorded this session. They may even have still been at school at the time, as I was myself. They really weren't very good at that time, as I'm sure they'd be the first to admit, but they'd improved a hell of a lot by the time this was recorded.
That would make their youngest member 12 when they started.
Very Joy Division in places, especially the drumming. Love it.
Sounds like JD recruiting Jarvis to replace Ian.
Reading good pop bad pop at the same time
I love pulp ( Jarvis most)more and more
You know what ? They would sound cool and hip now in 2022, more than they did in 1981. I love "It" but I often wonder and much more after listening to these 4 songs again if a debut album with Jarvis, Jamie Pinchbeck , Wayne Furniss and Peter Dalton wouldn't have taken them further.
Aguante PULP c t m ! Años escuchando este session! Ufffff puro sonido y RUIDO! 🔥 me gusta mucho! Gracias
Sounds much more accomplished than expected after reading Jarvis's account of the founding years in good pop, bad pop. It does sound similar to alternative bands around the time.
Yes I'm here from reading that book too, I got it from the library and read it in less than a day so it must have been interesting even though I'm not a massive pulp fan.
I was thinking the exact same. I was expecting something more acoustic and uninteresting from reading that book. This version of Pulp could have made it in their own right.
wishful thinking hits every single time
Pure class, I would have never guessed the age of this, very original for 1981
I mean it still sounds 80s, but it's so bizarre that it sounds like an original genre that never took off. The ska sound with the random ambience thrown in the middle and then the xylophone throughout the song. Original indeed
Contains a few Eno inspired sound effects :)
Jarvis Cocker is proof that if you have talent and you stick with it, you can achieve big things. I respect his tenacity.
Different class!
It's weird hearing Pulp sound so early 80s!
@The FM Club wow. Wouldn’t Jarvis have been like 15 then?

Love the first track. Lots of similar sounding bands on Peel in those days.
Tear drop explodes springs to mind
Completely agree, and a bit of Echo and the Bunnymen!
Does anyone else get a ska vibe? "Mirror in the Bathroom" perhaps?
A bit
Brilliant pulp had lots of energy the First track reminds of the beats too nice to talk to.
Thanks for posting! Great session!
Love it
someone was listening to Three Imaginary Boys
Fantastic!
Wonderful content! Sheer class !!!
Pure class.
THIS Wishful thinking should have been on the debut album it is much better! the lp version is a demo version really.
What an unbelievably beautiful song - by far the best I've ever heard from Pulp.
This is Ace! :)
Huh ? The " Common people " people were already pretty great back in 81 . Who would had guessed it ?
Does it sound good or not?
Reminiscent of early Echo and the Bunnymen.
VERY GOOD ---- THANK YOU
First song is great...rest...nope...
If only their first album had been a bit more like this and less like Des O'Connor.
Are they the same band of "Common People"?
+Marite Rossi Yes...they are
+Vibracobra23 Thanks! I never knew they were around in 1981. This song is quite good.
Yes, they were struggling for 14 years before their breakthrough album "His and Hers". Proof that persistence does pay off.
Only Jarvis made it from this incarnation to "Common People". Maybe 4 or 5 albums between this time and His and Hers.

This sounds a bit 60s to me.
Joy Division copycats
They were aged 15-18... and they admitted to ripping off Joy Division. Anyhow, who cares, they didn't release an album for another 3 years and didn't have a hit for another 13 years.
I dont think so.l
to be honest i hear more gang of four in their sound
it sounds more like gang of four, josef k and pop group
@@fabiomanic6977 go4 was PIL copycat itself and very unmelodic and sparse one. Here you can hear try to create epic and catchy melodies which was the JD trademark.
