It is the debut studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 18 April 1983 by Red Rhino Records.

The album's odd title is in fact a deliberate pun, as when it added to the name of the band it spells the word "Pulpit".

[11] The first reissue on CD was by Cherry Red in February 1994 with three bonus tracks ("Looking for Life", "Everybody's Problem" and "There Was...").

[12] Later that year Fire Records made its own re-release in November 1994, but without "Everybody's Problem" and "There Was..." as bonus tracks.

This re-release took several delays as the first stated release date was 8 August 2011 while the albums finally came out on 13 February 2012.
