Description

PAUL WELLER – MODERN CLASSICS – THE GREATEST HITS (Island IBX 8080, released 1998)  Limited edition 7 inch box set, containing 4 x 7" discs, each single being housed in its own die-cut graphics sleeve, a terrific 16 page photo book and a full colour art print. All contained in a superb 7.5 inch square picture box. This copy is numbered 5695.

Like ‘Snap!’ And ‘The Singular Adventures of the Style Council’, this first compilation of solo material, ‘Modern Classics’, is a testament to Weller's strength as a singles artist and a terrifically enjoyable listen in its own right. Collecting all of his singles and adding a fine new song, "Brand New Start”, the album is not sequenced in chronological order, but there was and is a consistency to Weller's solo work that makes the compilation hold together well. These singles are uniformly solid, whether it's the driving "Into Tomorrow," the rugged soul-pop of "Uh-Huh Oh-Yeh," the passionate "Sunflower," the ersatz ELO tribute "The Changingman," or ballads like "Broken Stones" and "Mermaids." A fine compilation by one of Britain’s most important artists in modern times.

Track listing:-  Out Of The Sinking,  Peacock Suit,  Sunflower,  The Weaver,  Wild Wood,  Above The Clouds,  Uh-Huh Oh-Yeh,  Brushed,  The Changingman,  Friday Street,  You Do Something To Me,  Brand New Start,  Hung Up,  Mermaids,  Broken Stones,  Into Tomorrow.

The box and all contents are brand new, the box is still in its shrink wrap with security sticker intact. Absolutely mint condition!!

A great opportunity for any collector of Paul Weller or indie music in general.

Postage:-  UK £3.00,  Europe £5.50,  Rest of World £7.50
