Let's Talk About... Pulp Reissues Coming to the States

Since I mentioned them yesterday, let's keep talking about the finest British band of the '90s, Pulp. (Sorry, Gay Dad.) NME is reporting that the band's expanded reissues for His 'N' Hers, A Different Class, and This is Hardcore are finally going to be available in America (at reasonable, non-import, prices).

All three packages will feature a second disc of single B-sides and previously unreleased session tracks and demos, as well as a 32-page booklet with session photos and [Jarvis] Cocker-penned liner notes.

The reissues, which have been available in the UK since 2006, will finally hit shelves in the US on November 17.

While I'd love a reissue of their underrated swan song, We Love Life, these three deluxe copies will definitely do for now. Pulp's b-side catalog has always been stellar, case-in-point, "PTA," which was on the cutting room floor of the Different Class recording sessions. While it's no "Christine 16" ("she's young and clean") the song is a bit creepy with underage sexual lyrics ("take your clothes off, one two three/No you don't have to talk to me/Just leave the light on so I can see") about a girl "met at the local P.T.A."

LISTEN:

Pulp - "PTA"
