2LP - PULP - FREAKS -2012 REISSUE

Double vinyl is 140 gram and includes download card.
Fire reissue Pulp's 1987 album 'Freaks' as part of the
Fire Embers reissue series with a special 2 disc release,
with the second bonus disc packed with singles and bsides from the Freaks era.
Pulp had changed significantly since their debut 'It'. By this
time every member bar Jarvis had moved on but the
addition of Russell Senior proved to be a pivotal turning
point for the band. No longer did Pulp sound pastoral, easynatured; now they were darkly romantic, brooding, noisy
and a little bit Gothic, in the way young folk who brush their
hair a certain way are always a little bit Gothic. Pulp were
out-of-tune with the times: but the times didn't satisfy Pulp.
The album is quite marvellous. Most of these songs stand
the distance of time: it was here, possibly even more than
1992's Separations, that Pulp started coming into their own
as a band with a fully-realised aesthetic. The first disc is the
original album, unaltered and in its entirety. The second is a
bonus disc comprising of tracks from the two big non-album
singles from the same era, 'Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)' and
'Dogs are Everywhere'. Two further b-sides 'Tunnel' and
'Manon' complete the second disc for the definitive 'Freaks'
period release. Pulp's 'It' and 'Separations' will be reissued
at the same time for the complete Pulp on Fire collection.
