Pulp - Different Class: 30th Anniversary Edition

Four months prior to the release of Pulp's best-loved album, the band headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 24 June. Four months prior to the release of the record, the band headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 24 June. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of what is widely regarded as one of the best albums of the era, this legendary Glastonbury performance, the audio wholly restored and released here for the first time, has been paired with the remastered album. 

4LP Boxset
The audio has been remastered/mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, overseen by Jarvis Cocker and Mark Webber, and is presented in a sturdy slipcase with a comprehensive, 28-page booklet featuring extensive notes from new interviews with the band members, plus previously unseen images from photographers Rankin and Donald Milne (who took the photos for the original release) and the band’s own archives. The original ‘aperture’ sleeve design, which invited purchasers to “Choose your own front cover”, came with six double-sided inserts/art cards of alternative cover images depicting cardboard cutouts of the band members in a variety of situations. This has been fully recreated and a 12” by 12” poster featuring miniatures of the cutouts themselves is also included.

Limited Edition Comic Book
For the original Different Class marketing campaign in 1995, Island Records in France commissioned a totally unique promotional comic book, illustrating the lyrics to Common People, designed by Jamie Hewlett. A limited number of copies of the comic are being made available in a replica print run and will be available as a free gift at participating Indie record stores in the UK alongside purchases of the 4LP boxset. Available while stocks last.

Please note: The comic is a complete replica of the original, so that includes a fill-in, post-off slip on the inner back page to send to an address in France - this element is no longer in operation; please do not post to this address in expectation of receiving any sort of reply!!
