Every time this track comes on the radio it still takes me a few seconds to realise it's Pulp's new single. Lyrically it's classic Pulp, especially the spoken word bit, but musically the soulful, flamenco tinged sound's a world away from Brit Pop's Common People clap along. It's pretty remarkable to think that the bands just three years away from celebrating its 50th anniversary (yes, seriously) even if it took the world almost two decades to catch up with them.
This was my gateway into the band, via a 12 inch single from Swordfish Records bought back in 1993.
Hang on, let's see what it's worth...good grief...Pulp - Lipgloss 12" Vinyl Single 45RPM 1993 Britpop | eBay UK
