If you’re going to release a best selling album thirty years after it’s release as an anniversary edition, you better put some good extras on it to make it worth buying again. No one owes you that purchase.
Of course, Pulp never let us down, and the 30th Anniversary edition of Different Class contains the first ever official release of their iconic Glastonbury 1995 headline set. Tasked with replacing the Stone Roses with ten day’s notice and with Different Class yet to be released, they triumphed.
For all you vinyl junkies, there’s even better: “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.”
