Yes. Pulp had already reached the UK Top 10 with 1994’s ‘His ’n’ Hers’, but ‘Common People’ transformed that momentum into national pop success.

Noel Gallagher’s handwritten ‘Live Forever’ lyrics and Jarvis Cocker’s pink silk glove are among the lots.

Two covers, from two different corners of the My Chemical Romance archive: Pulp in the ‘Danger Days’ era, and a Carpenters recording from the ‘The Black Parade’ sessions.

Pulp, Suede, Elbow, Goldie, Paris Paloma and more feature in National Album Day’s biggest release slate yet.

Florian Habicht’s Sheffield film and Garth Jennings’ forthcoming MUBI feature catch Pulp at distinct moments of return, shaped by different settings, scale and histories.
