This was the album that included Common People and Disco 2000, and started Jarvis Cockers transformation into a national treasure. I dug out my copy of the CD, snapped a pic with my phone and tweeted it. Graham Denison replied to my tweet suggesting a couple of other Thirsk locations used on the album.
@jameswest didn't #Pulp feature a gatefold cover with pictures around #Tescos .. or was it another group?

By this morning Thirsk Business Association had also chimed in.
@jameswest there is one down Ripon Way in Carlton Miniott. pulpwiki.net/Pulp/Different… (bottom middle). I met the photographers when they took it.
