Chronicling a period when Weller was incredibly prolific and on the top of his game – so much so, he could throw some of this material onto B sides when it could so easily sit side by side on any of the 3 albums released around this period.
Bustling with energy and style, this collection is a stellar document of a star maturing and growing in confidence. Highlights include Weller’s fist post-Style Council single “Into Tomorrow,” “The Loved,” “Fly On The Wall” and “The Riverbank” (a reworking of a classic The Jam B side – “Tales From The Riverbank.”) The track-list also features Weller’s take on some classic tunes, including John Lennon’s “Sexy Sadie” and “Instant Karma,” Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” and a sparkling live version of Neil Young’s “Ohio” which was originally on ‘The Weaver’ E.P. Remixes include Portishead’s working of “Wild Wood.”
