Different Class

Different Class is Pulp’s sixth studio album, released on Island in October 1995. It was recorded between January and July 1995 at Townhouse Studios in London with producer Chris Thomas^[1].

The title plays on the British class system. It came from a phrase used by a friend of Jarvis Cocker at a London club night to mean something in a class of its own^[1].

The album reached number one in the UK, won the 1996 Mercury Prize and spawned four top ten singles, including Common People, Disco 2000 and Something Changed^[1]. One retrospective calls it the record that chronicled mid-nineties English life better than almost any other^[2].
