But this is one that I reckon is hugely underrated. One of the most beautiful lyrics of that whole Britpop era with a tune and arrangement that is so reminiscent of Tindersticks:-
mp3 : Pulp - Something Changed
Released in March 1996, it was the fourth single lifted from the LP Different Class, and like the other three it went Top 10. It really is quite remarkable to think back and realise just how massively popular Jarvis & Co were in the mid 90s. And rightly so.
The CD single had tow different sleeves, but the same tracks:-
mp3 : Pulp - Mile End
mp3 : Pulp - F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.E.D.L.O.V.E.(The Moloko Mix)
mp3 : Pulp - F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.E.D.L.O.V.E.(live from the Brixton Academy)
The first of these is the band's rather underwhelming contribution to the soundtrack of Trainspotting, while the others are versions of another of the tracks on Different Class - one that was . The Moloko Mix is one that would have bemused many....I remember it coming on one day on shuffle when I was sunbathing face down by a pool in a very warm climate. It felt just perfect for that moment.....
Here's a live version of the single:-
It really is rather beautiful.....
Happy Valentine's Day everyone

Yes, brilliant record - it's always the last song on Pulp playlists I make, a post bop-around encore to leave everyone with a smile and remind them that it's not the end. (Because playlists of a single group or artist always morph into idealised set lists, obviously).
Disagree about Mile End- think it's great, especially the words.
It is something of a forgotten single, but you're right, it should be considered a classic.
I do like Mile End though.
