Page "Pulp (band)" Paragraph 11

Pulp's repertoire was growing rapidly.

Tracks such as " Babies ", " Space " and " She's a Lady " were being played live throughout 1991 and in October of that year, they played their first overseas gig, a concert organised by French magazine Les Inrockuptibles.

However, the band were still frustrated that Separations still had not seen a release and so Pulp left Fire and signed to Warp Records imprint Gift Records in 1992.

Buoyed by a changing musical current, in June 1992 Pulp released " O. U. ( Gone, Gone )" on Gift while Fire finally released Separations in the same month.

Melody Maker made " O. U " a single of the week alongside " The Drowners " by Suede, another prominent new band.

Pulp then signed to Island Records, who jointly released ( with Gift ) the singles " Babies " and " Razzmatazz " to increasing chart success.

Next were the singles " Lipgloss " and their first top 40 hit on the UK Singles Chart, " Do You Remember the First Time?

", which were put out as full Island releases.

These singles were followed by the Ed Buller-produced album, His ' n ' Hers ( 1994 ), which reached number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.
