Collection: Pulp Vinyl Records – Different Class, His 'n' Hers & Essential Britpop Albums on Vinyl

His 'n' Hers (1994)The album that brought Pulp to the brink. Do You Remember the First Time and Babies announced Cocker as one of British pop's sharpest lyricists, while the band's sound — all swooning keyboards and art-pop hooks — finally found the audience it deserved. Mercury Prize-nominated and a top ten hit, it's the perfect gateway into their world.

Different Class (1995)The masterpiece. Common People is one of the greatest singles ever written — a class-war anthem disguised as a pop song — and it's surrounded by an album that never dips: Disco 2000, Sorted for E's & Wizz, Something Changed, I Spy. Won the Mercury Prize and reached number one. The original pressing came with a die-cut sleeve and twelve reversible art inserts, and it sounds magnificent on vinyl.

This Is Hardcore (1998)Darker, more ambitious, and deliberately uncomfortable. Where Different Class was a celebration, This Is Hardcore is its morning-after reckoning — fame, anxiety, and disillusionment rendered in sweeping, cinematic arrangements. Help the Aged and the title track are extraordinary. Another Mercury nomination, and the album that proved Pulp were far more than a Britpop band.

We Love Life (2001)Their final album before a long hiatus, produced by Scott Walker. Quieter and more pastoral than anything that came before, with Cocker turning his gaze from the city to the countryside. The Trees and Sunrise are among his finest songs — a graceful, underrated record that rewards patient listening.
