Sixteen track greatest hits collection of choice jazz and soul fused pop from Paul Weller's The Style Council.
This is a refined selection including ‘You’re The Best Thing’ and ‘A Solid Bond In Your Heart’ - only the best tracks have been picked.
Revisit the politics and unforgettable soul of the eighties with this focused and classy collection.
Title track ‘Headstart To Happiness’ from Cafe Bleu is a jazz soul ballad smooth as silk. An early version of ‘Paris Match’ and the single edit of ‘Long Hot Summer’ add to the collectability of this compilation.
‘Blood Sports’ still remains a forceful plea against fox hunting, the original writing royalties went to the defence fund for two imprisoned anti hunt saboteurs in Bristol.
“I don't know the two boys in nick, but I agree with what the saboteurs do. It's hard for them to raise money because they're labelled as extremists, even though support for them is really widespread.” Explained Weller who would have to wait twenty years for fox hunting to be banned.
Finishing off is all time classic and instantly recognisable ‘A Solid Bond in Your Heart'. God they were good.
