A best-of/compilation album that surveys the career of Paul Weller's The Style Council.
After the breakup of The Jam, they boldly incorporated soul, jazz, AOR, and even city pop sensibilities, pushing the boundaries of '80s UK pop/soul, and this album condenses their journey.
With sophisticated melodies, modern rhythms, and lyrics that combine political consciousness and romanticism, they made a distinctive presence in the British music scene of the time. The album features a wide range of songs, from danceable numbers to mellow, introspective songs, reaffirming the multifaceted appeal of The Style Council.
