Pulp guitarist Mark Webber has announced I’m With Pulp, Are You?, a personal history of Pulp, out via Hat & Beard Press on September 30. Throughout the book, Webber has gathered material from the extensive collection of ephemera and objects that he has accumulated over four decades of involvement with the band. The book combines images with Webber’s reminiscences to chronicle a history of Pulp, told from the inside and features photographs, flyers, record covers, setlists, badges, posters, press clippings, and merchandise, alongside masses of promotional material to present a unique history of one of Britain’s most beloved bands. I'm With Pulp, Are You? also features a foreword by Jarvis Cocker, and newly commissioned essays by music writers Simon Reynolds and Luke Turner.
Webber explains, “I began to excavate the boxes of Pulp ephemera that I’d hoarded over the years and was amazed to discover so many things that I hadn’t seen for decades, things I’d completely forgotten about. It’s taken a while to get it all together into a book, and in the meantime the group unexpectedly reunited to go on tour again. I’m excited to finally share the stuff I’ve saved, and to present it in this way, along with memories of my experiences of being involved in Pulp from the 1980s ’til now.”
