Advantages: makes you realise how many good songs pulp wrote Disadvantages: international version doesn't have "underwear"
...have.
as with all greatest hits albums i'm going to rate it's originality fairly low because most tracks have been released before, don't let this put you of buying it.
the inlay has the lyrics to the songs and a lot of writing about i'm not even sure what by Harland Miller, it would have been nice if there was more pictures of the band in there. ...

Advantages: The best band ever Disadvantages: You'll want to dance to Common People
Well...this is the CD that started it all, or should I say continued it?
I remember as a wee child, sat in my car, listening to "Disco 2000" on the radio. Such good times. It was a song, that even as a mindless child, said to me "This is how music should sound".
So, late summer '06 sometime, I saw the Video to that memory stirring song on something like "Q", or "The Vault" on sky, and my heart literally stopped. A couple of weeks later, I saw the ... ...mind to go straight to Virgin Megastores and pick up my copy of some form of Pulp's Greatest Hits, and so came across "Hits".
It shows how Pulp changed and differed through their time at large, from the early 90's to the early 00's. Songs like "Babies", "Razzmataz", and "Lipgloss" all ooze with dark, perverted, but none the less incredibly witty innuendo, about spying on your friend's sister, incest, and sleeping around. Its the kind of stuff that ...

Advantages: music is brilliant. if you like music you should like Pulp.... Disadvantages: non
Pulp were a band that spanned 20 years. 10 of those years were wasted on failure. Despit the albums being brilliant.
In the 90s they came to fame!
This compilation is of every Pulp single of there successfull period and includes a bunus track: "Last Day Of The Minors Strike".
The odvious songs are there. The "His N Hers" stuff. All of the "Different Class, "Hardcore" and "We Love Life" singles.
The abum art is funky and there is a choice to select ...

Advantages: It's got all songs that a non- pulp fan would need Disadvantages: It's missing nearlly every good track they've done
Pulp, the best band in the world if you ask me. They've influnced so many people and bands over the past 20 years that they should receive an award. Cocker is the best front man this country has seen in years and even thogh Pulp are now disbanded, he still lives strong in the world of music.
Hit's does exactly what it says on the tin- a collection of all their hits. Hit's includes some of the earlier works that were never on any of the bigger pulp ...

Advantages: Most of Pulp's Singles on ONE CD Disadvantages: One single missing, which is a shame.
...bands finally realeased a greatest hits album and nobody noticed.
Only reaching number Seventy One in the charts.
This cd has fiftteen classic singles, one B-side and one new track.
As it seems this is Pulp's final album what better way for someone who has never bought a Pulp album than by buying this.
I highly recommend it.
You'll no doubt recognise songs such as:
Common People,
Disco 2000,
Help The Aged,
Do You Remember The First Time?
