Different Class (released in Japan as Common People) is the fifth studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 30 October 1995 by Island Records.

The album was a critical and commercial success, entering the UK Albums Chart at number one and winning the 1996 Mercury Music Prize. It included four top-ten singles in the UK, `Common People`, `Sorted for E`s & Wizz`, `Disco 2000` and `Something Changed`. Different Class has been certified four times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), and had sold 1.33 million copies in the United Kingdom as of 2020.[4] Widely acclaimed as among the greatest albums of the Britpop era, in 2013, NME ranked the album at number six in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time[5] while Rolling Stone ranked it number 162 in their 2020 revised version of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Background and release
The album was released in the UK at the height of Britpop. It followed from the success of their breakthrough album His `n` Hers the previous year. Two of the singles on the album – `Common People` (which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart) and `Disco 2000` (which reached number seven) – were especially notable, and helped propel Pulp to nationwide fame. A `deluxe edition` of Different Class was released on 11 September 2006. It contains a second disc of B-sides, demos and rarities.

The inspiration for the title came to frontman Jarvis Cocker in Smashing, a club night that ran during the early 1990s in Eve`s Club on Regent Street in London. Cocker had a friend who used the phrase `different class` to describe something that was `in a class of its own`. Cocker liked the double meaning, with its allusions to the British social class system, which was a theme of some of the songs on the album.[6] A message on the back of the record also references this idea:

`We don`t want no trouble, we just want the right to be different. That`s all.`

Artwork
The sleeve design was created by Blue Source. Initial copies of the CD and vinyl album came with six double-sided inserts of alternative cover art, depicting cardboard cutouts of the band photographed in various situations. A sticker invited the listener to `Choose your own front cover`. In all standard copies thereafter these 12 individual covers made up the CD booklet, with the wedding photograph used as the actual cover.

In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Chris Hawkins on 8 April 2014, Dom O`Connor, the groom featured in the wedding photograph cover art, recalled how the album cover had come about:

`When we got married we were putting the wedding together ourselves, we pulled a lot of favours from people we knew ... My little brother Ben went to art college in Edinburgh and he made friends with a guy who subsequently became a photographer and had done a lot of work with the Britpop bands – I think he worked with Blur, and Elastica, and of course Pulp. So we asked him about a couple of months before whether he would be prepared to do some photos for us, and he couldn`t actually do it because he said he was busy working on some Pulp stuff. But he phoned us about a week before and said Pulp were thinking about using some photos with real people in them, including a wedding photo, and if we would do some joke shots where he`d bring some life-size cutouts of the band down, he would do some proper wedding shots for us as well. And that`s basically what happened. They rocked up on the wedding day with the life-size cutouts of the band and took the photos, and I suppose the rest is history.`[7]

Apart from the bride and groom, the photograph features the parents of both the bride and the groom, O`Connor`s two brothers, his two best friends and his wife`s best friend. O`Connor also told Hawkins that he and his family had no further contact with the photographer after the day of the wedding, and had no idea that the photographs would be used for the album cover until his mother saw a poster advertising the album in an HMV record store. He later saw a billboard poster of the album cover while he was out shopping. Pulp`s record company at the time did not pay the family for the use of their picture, but when Pulp reformed in 2011 Rough Trade paid for the family members to see Pulp play live. O`Connor said, `Rough Trade very kindly sent us a signed copy of the photo that Jarvis had signed last year, just saying `Thank you very much Dom and Sharon for letting us crash your wedding`, which I thought was a really nice touch actually`.[7]
