It

About

It is the debut studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 18 April 1983 by Red Rhino Record. It was originally released as a limited vinyl mini-LP of 2.000 copies in April 1983. The album's odd title is in fact a deliberate pun, as when it added to the name of the band it spells the word "Pulpit". The band features Simon Hinkler who went on to join The Mission and drummer Wilson who was borrowed from fellow Sheffield act Artery. The first reissue on CD was by Cherry Red in February 1994 with three bonus tracks ("Looking for Life", "Everybody's Problem" and "There Wa..."). However, this release was soon deleted as Cherry Red did not own the material. Later that year Fire Records made its own re-release in November 1994, but without "Everybody's Problem" and "There Wa..." as bonus track. The album existed in this form for all subsequent release. The album was reissued and remastered by Fire Records in 2012 along with Pulp's 1987's Freaks and 1992's Separation. This re-release took several delays as the first stated release date was 8 August 2011 while the albums finally came out on 13 February 2012. An announcement in the interim stated that the albums would be remastered with new bonus tracks to be added to the track listings as well as new artwork and liner notes from music journalist Everett True.
