"I still really like the record - we weren't making it for any other reason than to make a record and it re-introduced real music to a lot of people again in the way it was made. We were coming out of the technology of the '80s, with those sterile recording methods, and it became about musicians playing live again and enjoying the experience." - Paul Weller, 2009
This stunning 2-disc 'deluxe' edition of Paul Weller's first solo album, originally released in 1992, follows the overwhelming success of the last few solo catalogue reissue projects – Deluxe editions of Stanley Road and Wild Wood plus Paul Weller At The BBC.
Weller re-established his soul and r'n'b roots and influences with the new material, as well as his love of Curtis Mayfield, Donald Byrd, Traffic, Funkadelic, Blue Note jazz records and new groups - Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. There was also a more experimental side, with tracks like Kosmos and a nod to the Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud labels scene.
The project has been personally overseen by Paul Weller and producer Brendan Lynch with unparalleled access to their archives.
Digitally remastered – the original album features the classic hit singles Into Tomorrow, Uh Huh Oh Yeh and Above The Clouds.
