In 1996 I was only 14, living in Phoenix, AZ, USA (Pulp wasn't well known in the Arizona desert). I saw Trainspotting and was obsessed with the soundtrack. Went out and bought it immediately. My favorite track was Mile End. I thought, this song is so great that I've got to find more from this band, so I went out and bout Different Class. I had no connection apart from Mile End, so Common People was just one of 12 tracks. The entire album was glorious. No song was better than the other. Just 53 perfect minutes. I pretty much stopped listening to anything else. It replaced Never Mind the Bullocks, Here's the Sex Pistols as my favorite album (I didn't even realize the Chris Thomas connection until some years later). Then I started working my way backwards through their catalog. A friend and I used to drive around Phoenix aimlessly singing along to Different Class. I never really stopped listening to Pulp. They're albums still on heavy rotation. Now I'm crossing my fingers their Encore tour reaches the US in '24.
