We celebrate the arrival of a new book from Mark Webber, charting his remarkable journey from Pulp superfan to band member. He'll be talking to our friend Pete Paphides about his history with this beloved band, and we host a full album playback on vinyl.

Pulp guitarist Mark Webber has announced details of his personal history of Pulp, which
gathers 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. I’m With Pulp, Are You? features photographs, flyers, record covers, set lists, 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.”
