Pu Hits

cd arrived quickly in mint condition. You should get a copy and have a listen.

Having followed Pulp for quite a while (when Richard Hawley was in the band in the late 80's) it was nice to see them release something so late in their hip career. The hidden track-razzmatazz from "His n Hers" actually is named on this cd. Pulp is one of those bands you either love or hate. They have a unique sound with quirky vocals from frontman hipster Jarvis Cocker. If you like Suede, Verve, Oasis, Blur and the other Bri-poppers I highly advise getting this cd along with Richard Hawley's (ex-Pulpster) solo album "Late Night Final" another materpiece.Thanks Jarvis and Richard for making these cool sounds!!

This album is just perfect for those who are getting to know Pulp. Song selection is excellent and I'm sure that those who didn't know anything about this band, will run to get more Pulp material fast.

A very enjoyable compilation of Pulp hits. Good for Pulp fans, Britpop fans, and for people who want to get to know the band.

ITS AN INCREIBLE DISC I LOVE IT THEY HAVE A REALY A SPECIAL MIND TO CREATE A COMPLETE EMOTION MUSIC

If you like music that is wildly innovative, danceable, lyrically fascinating and even funny, provocative, insanely structured, and just plain COOL, get this. Now.If you like music that is kinda dirty, real and raw-sounding, full of spunk and character, full of energy, full of feeling, and sure to make you sing along, get this. Immediately.If you like music that takes the best of the 1980s, the best of the 1990s, the best of modern dance music, and combines them all into something wholly original, get this. ASAP.If you like music, if you like to rock out, if you long drives to amazing tunes, if you've ever meditated on the power of great music to change and improve your mood, get this right away.Man, I just love this CD. I wrote an entire book while listening to it almost, cranking it as loud as it could go in my little basement office. Every song is solid. There is no filler here. Listen to this, but maybe don't listen to it around your kids: there are lots of innuendo-filled lyrics and breathy vocals, the sort of thing you maybe wouldn't play around your parents-in-law. (Depends on your inlaws, though, I suppose.)Get this, get this, get this. It's a good place to start your obsession with this terrific band. PULP!(Oh, and I'd just ignore the liner notes. They're kind of...I don't know. For starters, their comment, "10 years on an Island [Island Records]--not even Robinson Crusoe got that," isn't quite right. I think he was on his island for decades. That's petty, but the essay inside: ehh. Some reviewer's pointless rant about listening to them. Like this one here...but more pretentious.)This could very well be the best greatest hits album ever, in the running with Leonard Cohen's first one and the Velvet Underground's--the sort of greatest hits album that makes a guy think he was too hasty in dismissing greatest hits albums as nothing more than marketing ploys.Just get this. It is so, so, so good. If I ever had to defend the idea of music in a court of anti-music Nazis (whoa, I think I see a Broadway play here!) this would certain be among my first exhibits.

"Hits" by Pulp is a great collection of songs from their 4 Island albums; mostly singles, of course, + a previously unreleased "Last Day of the Miners' Strike". The songs are compiled chronologically, with their masterpiece "Different Class" very well represented with 5 songs.The four songs from the first Island album "His 'n' Hers" are catchy up-beat pop-songs, with "Razzmatazz" as my favourite.As already mentioned, I consider "Different Class" a masterpiece with its shamelessly catchy disco/pop hitsingles ( "Disco 2000" and "Common People") , great ballads such as "Something Changed" and the Steve Harley inspired "Sorted for E's and Wizz" - all songs with personal and thought-provoking lyrics."This is Hardcore" is a darker album, but almost as good, with the beautiful, but strange "Little Soul" as my favourite.I'm not familiar with their latest album "We Love Life", apart from the three songs included here. Judged from these songs alone the album appear less inspired, though I quite like the Blur inspired "Bad Cover Version".The previously unreleased "Last Day of the Miners' Strike" on the other hand is a worthy closing-track and leaves you regretting that the band chose to split up.All in all a fine collection that is bound to inspire listeners to look out for more Pulp music.

Great group! Like their music a lot!
