Info

The audio has been remastered/mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, overseen by Jarvis Cocker and Mark Webber. Note that the LPs, despite Jarvis' insistence, are played at 33 1/3rpm.

This 30th anniversary release includes
2 CD & 4 LP boxset:

  • Remastered original 12 songs.
  • Previously unreleased Glastonbury 1995 headline performance.
  • 28-page booklet featuring extensive notes from new interviews with the band members. Previously unseen images from photographers Rankin and Donald Milne, and the band’s own archives.

4 LP Boxset exclusive:

  • 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.
  • A 12” by 12” poster featuring miniatures of the cutouts of the band members.
  • An exclusive A4 sticker sheet with artwork, band shots, and iconic album motifs is also sold as a bundle for pre-order.
  • A recreation of the Common People Comic by Jamie Hewlett was available from select indie record shops on purchase of the 4LP boxset. The front cover was matte; the originals were glossy.

Comments

Jarvis Cocker:

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 &, 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.
