With 964 backers, the recent crowd-funder for Hardcore, a unique photobook of Pulp’s This Is Hardcore era, has successfully reached its target of £45,000 and is confirmed for publication in autumn 2023.

Designed by Paul Burgess and Louise Colbourne, the lavish photobook will feature a myriad of previously unseen photographs of the band from late 1997 to late 1998, as well as newly commissioned artworks and essays. All backers will have their name published as a thank you.
