- A defence of that most maligned era of Paul Weller’s career- have I done enough ? Tell me in the comments #paulweller #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #thejam #vinylrecords #1980s #myvinylcollection #recordcollector
Just taken delivery of “here’s some that got away” on 2nd hand cd from 1993 - has a further 10 months unreleased songs / demos plus 12 b side - it’s also excellent so worth hunting down - thanks to @beatleytonebeatleschannel for the heads up on that one ☝️
I personally love early Style Council including fabulous ‘Introducing’ EP which was behind you! Absolutely correct on their best album, and some of their 45’s belong amongst the best of Weller full stop.
'Our Favourite Shop' was easily the best album of '85. It was voted as such in an end of year poll.
Probably, the best band in the world ;)
My favorite band of all time! Much love and respect from Los Angeles!❤❤
Followed wellers music career since 1978 and love all of his work end of.
I can't understand why people don't like The Style Council. I've got the box set etc. Another Bostin video Gav they keep getting better.
Some the stuff you said is nonesense about the lps
They were dire
Hi gav always loved the style council saw them live many times cheers 👍
No need to defend. The Style Council were awesome. I still have every single & LP and various memorabilia and saw them Live at Bristol Hippodrome in 1984 and have lots of happy teenage memories of the band .
My favourite Weller period. I bought Speak Like A Child 7inch the day it came out.
Great singles band featuring Weller's best song:
Great video and a fair summary of their career. Favourite shop is far and away their best but i like Cafe Bleu. TSC were a singles band to me -they put great singles but fairly average albums. I tjink i have everything including the box set and saw them once at Live Aid. I hated The Cost of Loving when it came out but love it now. The singular adventures is also a good comp. There is an “ Extras-esque” gathering called something like the songs that got away but i think all the songs are on the box set. Ghosts of Dauku is on it and where i girst heard it. Brilliant song i agree
Spotify playlist- quite a few b sides not available - but have done my best !
Style Council had some great stuff..Introduced me to different styles and opened my mind to politics.. I gave up after Our Favourite Shop..
Cafe Bleu definitely Weller just going out of his way to distance himself from The Jam as far as possible and to see what fans were worth taking with him.
Loved Paul's solo, Jam. But never liked this at all!
Very disappointing. I have decided to take the role of Judge and Jury. I find Messrs Weller and Talbot guilty of crimes against Rock and Roll and may the good lord have mercy on their souls !!!.
