Paul Weller

About this product

Collating highlights from Paul Weller's illustrious career, Hit Parade is a reflection of where he was at in 2006.

It includes cross-generational hits from The Jam, the Style Council, and his solo days and is his first major career retrospective.

It offers invaluable insight into how the boy became the man and how that man became The Modfather.

Paul Weller's Hit Parade is the first major career 'Best Of' that embraces all of his personalities; from the post-punk, mod-revivalist guise of The Jam, to the synthesised sophisti-pop of the Style Council, and finally the soulful Indie of his ever-developing solo career.

It charts how the new boy in town turned working men's clubs into fan-filled arenas and showcases his ability to pen passionate, political, poignant, and patriarchal songs with enchanting fluidity.

A sister release to the At The BBC recordings, it suggests that 2006 was a year of reflection, but it was from this nostalgic period that much-loved future releases like 22 Dreams were born; as fresh and experimental as ever.

Hit Parade is a fascinating glimpse at the wealth of material that one of England's greatest singer-songwriters has ever recorded.
