The Style Council - Long Hot Summers: The Story Of The Style Council

Long Hot Summers / The Story Of The Style Council 3LP set

Style Council present career-spanning anthology!

Endorsed and co-compiled by the Modfather himself!

Remastered at Abbey Road Studios

Includes greatest hits, demos, remixes and unreleased tracks!

The Style Council have announced that they'll release Long Hot Summers, a career spanning anthology, in December 2020.

The anticipated look back at the Paul Weller band takes its name from the group's biggest hit, and comes both endorsed and co-compiled by the Modfather himself.

Other highlights on the new offering include the band's debut Top 5 single "Speak Like A Child," alongside a series of other hits including "You're The Best Thing," "Ever Changing Moods" and "Shout To The Top."

Fans will also get the chance to experience two unreleased tracks for the first time — a demo of the Top 5 single "My Ever Changing Moods" with added strings, and the five-minute version of "Dropping Bombs On The Whitehouse."

The release coincides with a new Sky Arts documentary about the band, also released on October 30, featuring interviews with the band, their fans and collaborators. Long Hot Summers will also feature a selection of rare photos, a new essay by Lois Wilson and sleeve notes from Martin Freeman — a self-professed super fan of the band.
