This stellar compilation is the perfect introduction to The Jam and The Style Council frontman Paul Wellers solo work and features 16 tracks taken from his first four solo albums. This double album includes the four 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’.

Modern Classics was originally released in 1998 and hasnt been reissued on vinyl until now.
