Pulp - Separations

Released: 12/04/24

Their third and last album for the Fire label,Separations. By 1992 Pulp had already transformed from their debutItthrough the dark electronic phase ofFreaksand were garnering significant momentum. Now critically acclaimed and with a live reputation matched by only a few, most of the songs onSeparationssound fully-realised in that undeniably Pulp manner that was soon to be experienced everywhere. And, for the first time, there was an inescapable disco pulse. This is the transition album where Pulp, caught between a doomed romantic outsider past and an acid-bright future, made an album that brilliantly reflects both.

Beautifully re-mastered and repackaged and with liner notes by Everett True, the disc includes four bonus tracks, includingDeath Goes To The Disco, Is This House,as well as an extended version of the singleCountdownand the previously unreleasedDeath Comes To Town.

Separationsspawned two of Pulps most successful singles to date inCountdownandMy Legendary Girlfriend, with the latter topping the singles of 1991 lists by major music publications.
