Pulp: Different Class (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

90s Brit-Pop masterpiece. Rare in the import vinyl version (expect to pay around $70+ for original copies), so glad to see a domestic repress. This Plain Recordings pressing features quality coloredvinyl and exact reproduction of the iconic cover.As for the review, we ask Lab-alum and Pulp expert Roctakon for his thoughts:

“I think of the three big Pulp albums as a great 90s trilogy. This middle record is not actually my favorite, but its where you should start. Its the one with the big numbers: the dance hit “Disco 2000” the quippy look back at the dawn of Rave “Sorted for E’s & Wizz” and the very best song “Common People” to come out of the Britpop happening. The thing about Pulp is Jarvis is straight and he writes about women and relationships in a profound way that is completely missing”Jeane” being the rare exceptionfrom The Smiths DNA. Morrisseys loneliness seems to exist in its very own universe, which is fine, but Jarvis sings aboutgirls,dildos, and a different kind of longing. Besides being a really fucking great band, Pulp does this one thing you cant get from the Smiths catalog better than anyone. Their 90s Trilogy (His and Hers, Different Class, This Is Hardcore) is a must own.”
