Biography In Christmas 1982 "It" was made and was released by Red Rhino along with the single "My Lighthouse" the following April. Jarvis at this time experimented with other bands and projects, including Heroes of the Beach, Repressive Minority, Michael's Foot and the Jarvis Cocker Explosion Experience. Russell hooked back up with Pulp whilst trying to produce his "supposedly dadaist" play "The Fruits of Passion". Unhappy about the direction Pulp had taken with "It" and the single "Everybody's Problem" he was considering a change of scene by going to college in Liverpool. Before this happened Jarvis, Russell, and Magnus Doyle got together for a practise and developed a new direction for Pulp to take. Magnus' friend Peter Mansell and Tim Allcard joined the band and this new Pulp played their first concert at Brunel University which was less than successful as they were appearing in place of a rugby songs band. The concert ended in a stage invasion as the audience had trouble understanding Pulp's new direction (which was complimented by Tim Allcard reading bits of poetry in between the songs). When Tim left free his position as keyboard player Magnus' sister Candida joined. On the night of her first concert Johnny Waller of Fire Records signed the band and the single "Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)" was released in late 1985. Around this time Jarvis had his well documented topple out of a window, breaking an ankle, a wrist and his pelvis and when he was fit enough to play concerts to promote "Dogs Are Everywhere" he did so from his wheelchair. The "Freaks" LP was recorded in June 1986 with a small budget forcing them to complete the recording in one week, though Fire did not release the album to until May 1987. During filming for the video of the chosen single "They Suffocate At Night", the band's line up changed once again - Magnus and Peter left the band: Jarvis and Russell were getting serious about Pulp but ''Mag'' and ''Manners'' wanted to have a laugh. In late 1987 Jarvis was experimenting with disco sounds on his granny's Yamaha Portasound and around this time Nick Banks joined the group on drums, joined by Steven Havenhand who was replaced soon after by Anthony Genn (apparently Steven played too quietly).
