Product Information

In May 2010, Weller was presented with the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement award, saying "I've enjoyed the last 33 years I've been writing songs and hopefully, with God's good grace, I'll do some more. Weller's bandmates Steve Cradock, Andy Crofts, Ben Gordelier, Andy Lewis and Steve Pilgrim kick off their tour as the Songbook Collective next week in Liverpool, performing music from their collective back catalogue. Back in the autumn of 2003, the Fly On The Wall 3LP and 3CD collection brought together a wealth of Paul Weller solo recordings that stretched back to 1991.

Weller's 16th solo album, Fat Pop (Volume 1), was released to critical acclaim on 14 May 2021, and entered the charts at number 1. By the time Weller was eleven and moving up to Sheerwater County Secondary school, music was the biggest part of his life, and he had started playing the guitar. In late 2006, the album Hit Parade was released, which collected all the singles released by the Jam, the Style Council and Weller during his solo career. The standout from Sonik Kicks, Starlite is a delight in its album version – a breezy, lovely melody floating over scratchy funk guitar, clattering drum machines and a dose of dubby echo. The film, which premiered at Somerset House's retrospective exhibition of the band, features interviews with all members, archive footage and fan stories.The album features a reimagined selection of Paul's vast catalogue with classic tracks spanning Paul’s The Jam, Style Council and solos career.

Joined by Rick Buckler on drums, and with Bruce Foxton soon replacing Waller on rhythm guitar, the four-piece band began to forge a local reputation, playing a mixture of Beatles covers and a number of compositions written by Weller and Brookes.
