• Track Listing

The fifth studio album by the English rock band, originally released in October 1995. 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 it's own'. Cocker liked the double meaning, with it's allusions to the British social class system, which was a theme of some of the songs on the album.
