Good luck to those looking to nab a copy tomorrow.

Ive got my copy, however apparently they don't have a download code inside like they did with His N Hers which is a real shame as I don't have a record player and can't fucking listen to it now !!!

 

I also love how the actual sticker on the front of the record lists Razzmatazz as "Razzamatazz"

Didn't get a chance to nab this at the weekend.

Called into Sister Ray and Reckless Records in Soho during my lunchbreak but they said all copies were gone and the prices on Discogs are silly.

I suppose it's unreasonable to hope this will appear at the merch stands at this year's shows... so I'll just express the somewhat more reasonable hope that if Different Class gets a 30th anniversary RSD edition next year that it won't be limited to the UK and Europe (and that it *will* include a full replica of the original cover art).

I'm a bit mystified as to why we didn't get at least a few copies of Intro. Admittedly, Pulp are an extremely niche taste in Canada, but I can't imagine that they're any less popular than, say, the Mighty Lemon Drops.

Life would be so much simpler if I were more patriotic, then I could simply buy Tragically Hip and Barenaked Ladies records on RSD.

I got a copy. After seeing a massive queue outside Rough Trade East, I opted to make the 5 minute walk up Brick Lane to Flashback Records, where there was no queue and I was in and out in 5 minutes.

I have listened to the record once and didn't notice any great difference except that it seemed to he mastered at quite low volume and I needed to turn my hi-fi way up to appreciate the subtleties.

I also found the songs nearest the center of the record were a bit distorted, but I suspect that might be my needle needing replaced.

Didn't realise it would be popular. What's it re-selling for? I thought about getting two copies.

PS. A worn stylus will bring out all the inner-groove distortion on a record, big-time.

If you are so inclined, try and get a shibata / microline stylus bye bye inner groove distortion forever!
