Released in 1995, Pulp’s fifth album became a classic of the ’90s Britpop movement. It debuted atop the U.K. charts, put four singles in the Top 10 (including “Common People” and “Disco 2000”) and won the Mercury Music Prize in 1996. For its 30th anniversary – less than a week shy of its date of original release – and following the release of their latest studio LP More. in June, Different Class has been remastered and given newly-cut lacquers by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road (who mastered the original release with engineer Kevin Metcalfe), overseen and approved by frontman Jarvis Cocker and guitarist Mark Webber. Available on two CDs or four LPs, the remastered album comes with the premiere release of the band’s headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival in the summer of 1995, where several of these tracks had live premieres. The vinyl version recreates the original “choose-your-own cover” artwork with a 12″ x 12″ poster of scenes from the original package, while the CD is housed in a standard digipak. Both versions come with a 28-page book of liner notes, including a new essay featuring new quotes from the band and unseen archival photos. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
