For Serious Style Council Fans

"I completely reject what Jeff Bateman writes in his album description. I'm a Jam fan and well-versed in Paul Weller's solo work but the Style Council was Weller's strongest period because of the songwriting and overall musicianship of everyone involved. It takes a more sophisticated palate to appreciate, which may explain Bateman's derision. If you are a serious Style Council fan you should own this album. About a third of the tracks are sub-par, in my opinion, but the rest are good to very good. I collected most of these songs on vinyl and CD singles years ago and love having one disc with all of them."
