Two Paul Weller solo albums will get a vinyl reissue in November.
The self-titled solo debut of 1992 is out on 180g heavyweight vinyl from November 18th, putting fresh light on the record which began a nineties renaissance after the gradual demise of Weller’s post-Jam band The Style Council led to a period in the music wilderness and an ephemerally tarnished public image.
By the time of the subject of the second reissue – 1997’s ‘Heavy Soul’ – Weller was back in the big time; lifted by the unconditional praise of the Britpop era’s leading lights and, more pertinently, the successes of 1994’s ‘Wild Wood‘ and its immediate successor ‘Stanley Road‘ – a UK number one in the spring of 1995.
According to NME, ‘Heliocentric’ and ‘Illumination’ – from 2000 and 2002 respectively – are expected to get similar treatment early next year.
