Recalled and deleted on release when it transpired that Cherry Red did not actually own the rights to the album.
This release is very rare. 1000 copies were pressed; it's unclear how many were sold.
Includes the following notes by Tony K (former head of Red Rhino Records):
fame is long overdue for the enigmatic jarvis and his mates otherwise known as pulp. i do hope it is here now. when i first heard jarvis sing my lighthouse i was overwhelmed by both the song and his presence. i knew that he was a star in the making, singing a simple, yet beautiful song, his (and his band's – let's not forget them) charisma was obvious. however their 15 minutes seems to be a long time coming, they have spent a long time out in the cold.
it is now very pleasing in a conceited sort of way, to read of others now praising pulp, to listen to their maturity and richness of song. from single acorns...

Jarvis' comments
From Volume Ten, June 1994:
I remember this record as though it was only yesterday. I'd just left school and Tony Perrin, who later went on to manage The Mission, decided to put up the money for recording it. We did it in a very strange studio in Sheffield that only had about three microphones, but the man who owned the studio told us that one of the microphones used to belong to Cliff Richard and insisted on recording everything with the Cliff Richard microphone. I listened to it recently, because I got a copy of this CD thing that was released by Cherry Red, and I think it's quite a decent record - although I must admit that it does embarrass me slightly. I was still a virgin when I did it, and I think that you can really tell because I've got a very idealised view of love and romance which was to change rather radically over the course of the next few years.
