Pulp's Different Class Turns 30

Pulp's masterpiece and one of the defining records of the Britpop era, Different Class, celebrates its 30th birthday with a special anniversary edition of the album.

Different Class (originally released October 30, 1995) is Pulp's most successful album,
achieving multi-platinum sales and international acclaim, winning the 1996 Mercury Music
Prize and debuting at #1 on the UK Album Chart. It also produced four Top Ten singles,
including ‘Common People’.
 
Four months prior to the release of the album, 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 records 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 (each cut over 2 LPs) and is released as a deluxe 4LP boxset and 2CD set.
 
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.

Releasing 30 years to the week of the original release, the special edition sets come out on 24th October 2025 and is available as a 4LP Boxset and a 2CD Set.
