Michael music review Pulp — Different Class, island Records, 1995 This is a really gear and fab release from another one of those too-clever-for-their own-good batch of skinny young English blokes with guitars and neat shoes.

The disc would have fit right in with what was hap- pening in the mid-1970s on the Bowie, Roxy Music. Mott The Hoople front.
