🎶 Pulp – Different Class: The Britpop Classic That Still Hits Hard on Vinyl

In the golden age of Britpop, when bands like Blur and Oasis were grabbing headlines, Pulp stepped onto the stage with Different Class—a record that didn’t just compete, it cut deeper. Released in 1995, Different Class is more than a Britpop milestone. It’s a biting, brilliant commentary on class, desire, and British life—wrapped in catchy, lush, and sometimes downright cheeky tunes.

Now available on vinyl at Vinyl Legend, this record isn’t just a nostalgic gem—it’s a must-have for collectors who want their turntables to echo with both swagger and substance.

📀 Why Different Class Belongs in Every Vinyl Collection

Different Class won the Mercury Prize in 1996 for good reason. It's filled with clever storytelling, infectious hooks, and anthems that still hit just as hard today as they did 30 years ago.

• "Common People" – The ultimate Britpop anthem. A working-class cry of frustration disguised as a dancefloor banger.

• "Disco 2000" – Nostalgia, awkward romance, and a pulsing groove all rolled into one.

• "Sorted for E’s & Wizz" – A haunting yet honest look at rave culture and chemical escapism.

• "Mis-Shapes" – A rallying cry for the outsiders, weirdos, and the proud misfits.

Frontman Jarvis Cocker delivers each line with a theatrical, poetic flair that sounds even more intimate and raw on vinyl. His sharp social commentary and dark humour elevate the album into something that’s as much a cultural statement as it is a musical triumph.

🎧 The Vinyl Experience: Rich, Raw, and Real

Listening to Different Class on vinyl is like hearing it for the first time—only better. Here's why:

• Warm analog sound brings out the layered textures of the strings, synths, and sneering vocals.

• Iconic cover art, featuring real wedding guests, makes for a standout piece in any record collection.

• Many editions include the original lyric inserts, adding depth to the listening experience.

If you're a fan of Britpop, alternative rock, or music that says something, this is a record that demands to be heard on wax.

🏆 Legacy: The Album That Outsiders Made Their Own

Different Class didn’t just climb the charts—it changed the conversation. It was smart, subversive, and deeply relatable for a generation that felt stuck between the lines of class, culture, and conformity.

Even today, its themes are relevant, and its sound—equal parts glam, grit, and glorious Britpop excess—feels timeless.

💬 Final Thoughts

Pulp – Different Class isn’t just another album. It’s a cultural document, a party starter, and a middle finger to the status quo, all rolled into one. And on vinyl, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss.
