Pulp have announced a 30th anniversary reissue of 'Different Class' featuring their 1995 Glastonbury set
Deluxe editions include booklets, unseen photography, and Abbey Road remastering oversight.
Pulp have announced ‘Different Class – 30th Anniversary Edition’, a reissue of their 1995 album, set for release on 24th October via Universal Music Recordings on behalf of Island Records.
Available as a quadruple LP and double CD, the expanded edition includes the band’s full 1995 Glastonbury Festival performance, released in full for the first time.
The release follows Pulp’s recent album ‘More’, a UK and Ireland arena run, European headline shows, and a Pyramid Stage appearance at this year’s Glastonbury. Originally released on Island Records in 1995, ‘Different Class’ won the 1996 Mercury Prize.
Jarvis Cocker says, “This 45rpm double album version of “Different Class” will make it sound a whole lot better. We were obsessed with the fact that this was our “Pop” album (we had finally achieved some “popularity” when “Common People” was a hit) &, as everyone knows, all pop albums have 12 songs on them: 6 tracks per side. Only problem: this took the running time of the record to 53 minutes. We were told this would compromise the audio quality of the vinyl record - but we were more bothered about not compromising the quality of our Pop Dream. Now, 30 years later, we are finally ready for “Different Class” to be heard in all its glory. Different Class indeed.
