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.

I got out my camera and went for a look. Here's a map with the locations used flagged. Click on the pin to reveal the photo, and click the photo to view a larger size.

*I nearly called this post "A Thirsk for knowledge" but decided against.
I haven't thought of this for years. I know several of the then kids sat on the pavement in Hambleton.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Thirsk can you use Jarvis Cocker and James Herriot as claims to fame :)
I didn't realise Thirsk was so rock 'n' roll Nicki. I loved that CD, and even though I was coming up here quite a lot back in 1995 I never made the connection. I knocked on the door of the house in Hambleton when I went to take the pic to see if the current residents remembered it, but there was no-one home.
