Pulp’s musical style at this time was varied, approximately described as “a cross between ABBA and the Fall “. A local fanzine also noted this eclecticism, describing them as sounding “as if they listen to the John Peel show every night in an endless quest for influences”. Indeed, in October 1981, they gave a demo tape to Peel, who granted them a Peel Session . The session was a giant leap forward for the young band, who became well known on the local music scene as a result. The tracks recorded were in the typical Sheffield sound of the time (cf. the Human League and Comsat Angels ): electronic new wave and post-punk . These tracks were released in 2006 on The Peel Sessions compilation.
