At the end of last week, on their last day of preparation in Sheffield, whilst packing up their gear for their 2011 tour, all the members of Pulp (Jarvis, Russell, Candida, Nick, Steve and Mark) were kind enough to spare some of their precious time to sign some of the film posters (see above closeup image – note the Jarvis graffiti).
Everyone who preorders The Beat Is The Law – Fanfare For The Common People DVD before the release date (now confirmed as 1st June 2011) will be entered into a special prize draw: 20 names will be drawn out of a hat and will receive an amazing collectors item – the A2 size colour film poster signed by all six members of the band.
All preorders will also receive two colour postcards of the specially commissioned The Beat Is The Law art by Martin F. Bedford (the Leadmill posters artist) and Phil Wolstenholme (WARP album designs including Artificial Intelligence) PLUS a free colour film poster.
Please note that the posters are full colour, A2 size, 170gsm weight and will be delivered separately in a protective cardboard tube.
With just over 2 weeks left, this is a chance you really don’t want to miss – so preorder now from our SHOP before it is too late!

On 12th November 2009, Director Eve Wood joined Pulp’s Russell Senior and Jake Harries from Chakk for a chat following a screening of The Beat is the Law Part One. Led by journalist John Robb, discussion ranged from Cortonwood Colliery, the flatness of video, hairgel, and a look at the difference between Manchester and Sheffield bands. There’s a great bit where Russell alludes to gigs outside Sheffield as being fun because of the away supporters.
We’re presenting it – uncut – as the first The Beat is the Law podcast. Click the play button to listen now, or the ‘download’ link to save it to your computer.

We’re pleased to announce the DVD release of Sheffield Vision’s new feature length documentary ‘The Beat Is The Law – Fanfare For The Common People’ on 24th May 2011.
Taking as its focus the story of seminal pop misfits/messiahs Pulp over the course of their journey from the darkest industrial depths of Sheffield to the pinnacle of pop, this is an entirely new premium double DVD disc release from the team behind The Beat is the Law Part One.
Fanfare… tells the band’s story in their own words through specially filmed interviews with members of their classic (and reunion) line up including Jarvis Cocker and Russell Senior – as well as contributions from the likes of Richard Hawley, Moloko’s Mark Brydon and WARP’s Rob Gordon.
This is a four-hour, double disc DVD presentation featuring sleeve design and 24 page colour booklet by The Designers Republic – and preorders are now open.
We’ve put together some special extras for those of you preordering -
All DVD preorder customers will receive:
free postcard reproductions of the two specially commissioned The Beat is the Law print designs by Martin Bedford and Phil Wolstenholme (see our shop for images)
free poster sized full colour reproduction of the original Fanfare artwork by tDR.
