Pulp's last album, We Love Life, is ten years old. The Scott Walker produced swansong was released to rave reviews and saw Pulp achieve their fourth top ten album.

The presence of songs from the album played live at their shows during the successful reunion this year showed how much the band and fans continue to hold them in regard.

During the many recording sessions for what would become We Love Life plenty of beautiful songs were demoed and let fall by the wayside for one reason or another. A decade on, Pulp fans rely on bootleg live recordings to hear gems such as Cuckoo and The Quiet Revolution while numerous other songs remain unreleased in studio vaults. Little information exists for many of these save for track names and recording dates.

Pulp reissued the three previous Universal Island albums in 2006 much to the delight of fans. Indeed many favoured certain discarded songs over some of the material that made the final cut. The wealth of songs written, demoed and unreleased during the making of We Love Life potentially offer the best value and insight into the quality of Pulp's songwriting (to which Richard Hawley contributed at this time). Mr Cocker himself, not given to hyperbole has commented that "We could do quite a good one (reissue) of We Love Life".


Sign the petition below to request that Universal Music Group release the many unreleased songs from this period, in the form of a We Love Life deluxe edition or digital downloads of the individual songs:

Sarah A. WilsonYes! What are you people waiting for?!
Jean-Christophe Pacaud
Alexey LuganskiyI really love the songs that came out on previous deluxe editions. And We Love Life is a very good album. For Pulp fans it would be really great to hear more songs from that era.
Kevin WestThis is crying out to happen. It should have happened in 2001! The unreleased songs from this time are just fantastic.
Andrew BunkerI'd buy this without a seconds thought, I've loved the snippets we've heard already at the 'Flux' Edinborough gig in 99 and on John Peel.
Eamonn MulveyPulp recorded some great songs at this time, so I'd be happy to pay for unreleased material from this era.
Kentis Cocker
Will PhillipsSongs like Cuckoo and The Quiet Revolution are examples of Jarvis' songwriting at its best. I would definitely buy a 'We Love Life Deluxe Edition' and I'm sure many others would too.
