VIA PRESS RELEASE | The first collection of Paul Weller’s solo greatest hits Modern Classics is getting the vinyl reissue treatment on October 14th. Available to pre-order HERE.
This covetable edition comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a bonus live LP recorded at Victoria Park, Hackney, London, 8/8/98. The album was originally released in 1998 and hasn’t been reissued on vinyl until now. This stellar compilation is the perfect introduction To Paul’s solo work and features 16 tracks taken from his first 4 solo albums. Modern Classics collects together most of Paul Weller’s early solo singles from 1991’s “Into Tomorrow” to “Brand New Start,” and everything in between.
This double album includes the four U.K. hit singles taken from the seminal 1995 release Stanley Road: “Out of the Sinking,” “The Changingman,” “Broken Stones” and the timeless classic “You Do Something to Me.” Weller’s distinctive raw, bluesy style runs seamlessly throughout, from the chiming opening bars of “Sunflower” through to his debut solo single “Into Tomorrow.”
