Masters of the Universe (Pulp album)


Masters of the Universe is a compilation by the English alternative rock band Pulp, released in 1994.

Background

The compilation brings together the four Pulp singles released on Fire Records between 1985 and 1987, with the exception of "Silence", which was left off at Jarvis Cocker's request. The two differences of "Master of the Universe " from the album version are the substitutions of the word "masturbates" with "vegetates" and "cums" with "keeps". The original version can be found on the album Freaks.
Almost all tracks from this compilation were included on Freaks 2012 reissue bonus disc. The two tracks that are not featured are "They Suffocate at Night" and "Master of the Universe ".
