Dutch record store find story

edit

The story of how Tarantino found found the song in a Dutch record store is persistently unsourced in this article, and should be deleted if no one can find a proper citation. The "Dutch" detail sounds suspiciously truthy. (Stull was released on the american Touch and Go Records, and could be found in any shop that sold Butthole Surfers albums.)

The original insertion (2009-09-02, T14:50:59, anon editor) cites Songfacts, a user-edited unreliable source. Many other sources for this factoid post-date this article.

Interesting, the following 2013 publication:

  • Bailey, Justin (11 November 2013). Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece. Voyageur Press. p. 115. ISBN 9780760344798. Diamond's 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon' also enjoyed a second life thanks to Pulp Fiction. ... extended-play recording 'Stull,' which Tarantino found in a Dutch record store.

... also uses the "garnered a second life" wording from this Wikipedia article (debuting here in 2007), though both may be repeating an earlier source. / edg 20:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Removed. As I recall the story—probably from a DVD commentary to which I don't currently have access—Tarantino intended to used the original for the scene, and was then shown the cover version by production staff. / edg 01:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
It appears Urge Overkill believe Tarantino found the record, and the music supervisor Karyn Rachtman (the abovementioned "production staff") hadn't heard it before.
  • DJ Pizzo (22 September 2014). "The Music Of Pulp Fiction". Cuepoint. Medium. ... some poor fucker thought that we sucked, or this record sucked and cashed it in for a dollar or two, or something. And then Quentin Tarantino, an avid record collector, picked it up for 50p or whatever the currency is," laughs Nash.
Figures I'd find this after deleting it from the article. I would like to be more certain before restoring. / edg 20:00, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
