Every week on the show Paul McLoone plays his pick for #ClassicAlbumOfTheWeek and this week its the art-pop album that led the Brit-pop boom - Pulp's Different Class.
The album went to number one in the UK and four times Platinum.
It perches high on many Best Albums Of All Time lists and won the band a Mercury Prize in 1996 where they beat Oasis (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, Manic Street Preachers' Everything Must Go and Underworld's Second Toughest in the Infants.
Different People was produced by Steve Mackey who has just worked on Arcade Fire's latest Everything Now.
A lot of the tracks on Different People were heavily influenced by women through the lyrics or the music.
Candida Doyle played keyboard and would occasionally supply some backing vocals with Pulp from 1984 and was a huge musical contributor to the band and their progression.
Disco 2000 was inspired by Deborah Bone, Jarvis Cockers childhood friend and muse.
And Common People was inspired by a girl Jarvis Cocker had met at St Martin’s College. He told NME "I don’t know her name. It would’ve been around 1988, so it was already ancient history when I wrote about her… It seemed to be in the air, that kind of patronising social voyeurism… there is that noble savage notion. But if you walk round a council estate, there’s plenty of savagery and not much nobility going on”.
