Pulp: His'n'Hers
Ben Thompson, MOJO, May 1994
FORGET EVERYTHING you know about what great music is Bessie Smith, The Beatles, Neil Young, Al Green, all gone (not forever, just for 40 minutes). Now construct a new lineage comprising Young Girl by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie, Walk On By (The Stranglers' version not Dionne Warwicke's) and Airport by The Motors. At the end of this family line, in a sepia tint portrait of snazzy crimplene and half-discarded feather boas, stand Pulp.
