More Info:

When The Style Council's debut album Café Bleu was released in 1984, Weller and wing-man Mick Talbot unveiled a cosmopolitan blend of jazz, soul, and pop that felt effortlessly sophisticated and daringly fresh. Café Bleu was more than a debut - it was a statement of intent, redefining what British pop could sound like in a new decade. The Café Bleu (Special Edition) is a treasure trove for Style Council devotees and music lovers alike - an immersive journey into one of the most inventive eras of Paul Weller's career. This lavish release unveils a wealth of previously unheard material, including early demos, alternate takes, and unreleased songs that showcase the band's restless drive for experimentation and evolution. The 6-CD set also features a collection of BBC session and live recordings, capturing the band in full creative flight. Completing the package are superb new sleeve notes from Gary Crowley, offering fresh insight into this timeless classic's enduring legacy.
