The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Pulp.

Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him, and features three key tracks. This week it's Different Class, released by Pulp in 1995.

Don says, "Released at the height of so-called Britpop, this album, along with Blur's Parklife, would come to define the movement.

By the time they made this, their fifth album, Pulp had mastered the elements that made their previous releases successful, and delivered a record that combined theatrical synth-tinged pop, catchy melodies and hooks, along with clever lyrics that revolved around sex and social class. It's intelligent pop at its very best.".
