Biography The first major label LP was completed in February 1994 and in March Pulp released "Do You Remember The First Time?", accompanied by a 25 minute film which was made by Steve and Jarvis and premiered at the ICA in London. "His 'n' Hers" arrived a month later and reached number 9 in the LP Charts, the band were kept busy with a nomination for the Mercury Music Awards (which they nearly won!) and a French tour followed by dates in Stockholm and Amsterdam. "Babies" was re-released by Island (along with three new tracks) as the "Sisters EP" and made the charts at number 19. Fire released a compilation album, "Masters of the Universe" and issued "It" on CD while Pulp had a quiet summer punctuated by appearances at several festivals. Next, the band toured America with Blur in the September of 1994 and were greeted by screaming girls in Los Angeles and New York. On their return to Britain they joined Blur once again with shows at Aston Villa Leisure Centre and London's Alexandra Palace. The year ended with an invitation to play at the Princes Trust Gala Concert and a Christmas show at the Theatre Royal on Drury Lane which left the theatre with a huge crack in the balcony caused by dancing Pulp fans! In May of 1995 Pulp made the charts in style with "Common People" reaching number 2. Its success brought Pulp a new audience and contributed to a headline performance at Glastonbury when the Stone Roses pulled out at the last minute. The sight of thousands of people singing along to "Common People" at the end of the set must have helped make Glastonbury a high point of the band's career. The double a-sided single "Mis-shapes / Sorted for E's and Wizz" brought tabloid interest in the band, and in particular Jarvis with the outrageous banner headline ran by the Daily Mirror - BAN THIS SICK STUNT!! - where they objected to the sleeve instructions on how to make a wrap for "hiding your drugs". Crisis meetings were held immediately at the Top of the Pops studios and Pulp's position on drugs was reported with a rather confusing follow up story in the Mirror the following day.
