A small card to tell us that Pulp have a new single out. The pre-release "buzz" for this was massive - "Common People" was going to be the smasheroonie of 1995. It seemed to be Pulp's time to take the spotlight, with Blur and Oasis taking a time out before the release of their new material later that Summer.
And the buzz wasn't wrong. This was their best single yet, lovingly packaged in a sleeve by the awfully talented Designers Republic. It stuck at Number Two, but became Pulp's biggest hit and their (and probably Britpop's) anthem.
The stakes had been raised. Your call Albarn & Gallagher.
