About this product

Thirty five classic Style Council tracks including all the hits and some surprising extras.

Songs like ‘You’re Best Thing,’ ‘Walls Come Tumbling Down’ and ‘Shout To The Top’ are included in this comprehensive collection of soul inspired pop from Paul Weller's second greatest band.

This is a great way to explore The Style Council as not only does it include silky smooth ‘Long Hot Summer’ and ‘The Paris Match’ but additionally there’s brassy up-tempo slices of rebellious eighties white soul such as ‘Speak Like A Child’ and ‘A Solid Bond in Your Heart.’

Mick Talbot’s keyboard can be heard in all its glory on ‘Shout To The Top’ with future Mrs Weller and ex Wham backing singer Dee C. Lee providing her iconic vocals on ‘Money Go Round'.

Weller explains “In some ways this was me trying to stretch myself - no that's not right - to experiment more as a songwriter.” The Style Council final and fatal change of direction to house music, dance track ‘Promise Land’ makes a hip wiggling appearance.

Now is the time to reassess Weller’s experimental decade of smooth soul and catchy pop.
