PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RARE and OUT OF PRINT 2009 US deluxe reissue 16-track 2-LP set pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Originally released in 1998, Pulp's This Is Hardcore, was at once the artistic pinnacle of 90s Brit-pop, and the genre's comedown record, marking the end of an era with its ruminations on growing old (Jarvis Cocker wrote and recorded the album at the age of 33, which may also explain the album's Jesus fixation), fearful, and bitter. Drawing influence from Bowie and Roxy Music, rather than the Stones and Beatles, Cocker crafted one of the darkest yet anthemic albums of all time. An absolute masterpiece. 

This album contains the 12 track English version, minus “ Like A Friend ”, but does contain bonus tracks “ Tomorrow Never Lies ”, “Laughing Boy”, “ The Professional ” and “ This Is Hardcore (end of the line remix)”. The cover photo was art directed by Peter Saville and the American painter John Currin who is known for his figurative paintings of exaggerated female forms. The images were further digitally manipulated by Howard Wakefield who also designed the album. Currin was also the art director for the “ Help the Aged ” video, based on his painting “ The Never Ending Story ”. Advertising posters showing the album's cover that appeared on the London Underground system were defaced by graffiti artists with slogans like “ This Offends Women ” and “ This is Sexist ” or “ This is Demeaning ”.

This set remains sealed from new in the original manufactur's shrink wrap, and therefore mint and unplayed. The shrink wrap is still intact, and the jacket is in mint condition (No Cuts, No Ring Wears). An absolutely stunning copy. Any visible white spots are shine from the lighting and are NOT defects. See the images to the bottom of the page

Prices for this 2009 US stone cold mind factory sealed of “PULP – THIS IS HARDCORE” Deluxe Edition MULTI-FORMAT (heavyweight 2-LP, CD) set continue to rise. 

Don't miss your chance to complete your PULP collection with this masterpiece in pristine/sealed condition.

Do not second guess yourself on this masterpiece because once gone it's gone forever and will skyrocket in price on the collectors market.
