: ATTENTION ALL PULP PEOPLE :
: interim message to our beloved fans :

I don't want you to think that we're neglecting you because we had that hit single (we're not). Everything got crazy. Since "Common People" was released we've been working all hours of the day in the studio recording the LP. We forfeited our summer and have been cancelling holidays left, right and centre. The newsletter is long overdue, I know, but now I'm so involved in the group it's really hard for me to find any time to write things. So now I'm offering this brief but factual message to tell you what's happening and let you know we haven't forgotten you're out there, to thank you for the overwhelming success of the last record, and promise you a proper fan club communication in the near future.
love,
Mark x
