Paul Weller’s An Orchestrated Songbook will be released on 10 December 2021 (was 3 Dec). Why the record label choose to wait a couple of weeks before announcing this is anyone’s guess. Paul Weller is ranked 4th best out of 26 albums by Paul Weller on. Update 5 July 2021: The 2LP vinyl has now been announced and it will be issued on the same date as the CD. It comes in a hardback DVD-sized casebound 32-page book, with “inserts” – nice enough – but it’s literally DOUBLE the price of the standard CD, so doesn’t come recommended. There is a deluxe CD edition but it contains the same audio as the standard CD only with better packaging. CDs can be manufactured and out the door in 2-3 weeks, so the wait until December is purely ‘strategic’, one assumes. Six months is apparently not enough time to deliver a vinyl version of this album, so it will be announced “at a later date”. Uncut magazine rated 'Wild Wood' as Weller's ninth best ever song and the best of his solo career. You can check out Wellers full favourite album list below. Gee, thanks!Īnd so far, it has only been announced on CD, as if to underline the crazy vinyl manufacturing situation. Wild Wood is the second solo studio album by Paul Weller. Paul Weller (Picture: Press) Though he only released t he superb ‘On Sunset’ last July, ‘Fat Pop (Volume 1)’ is Paul Weller ’s lockdown record. It seems that Paul’s ‘team’ want to take advantage of the current Orchestrated Songbook ‘buzz’ by getting pre-orders available, but not actually give you the record for another six months, because they are still promoting Fat Pop. A sequel to the 2003 compilation Fly on the Wall: B Sides & Rarities, the 2022 set Will of the People follows the same contours of its predecessor: it rounds up rarities, B-sides, and non-LP cuts Paul Weller released between 20, with the singer himself curating and sequencing the three discs. If it seems messy – Polydor promoting a new live album when Fat Pop has only just been pushed out the door – then I should point out that this live album isn’t actually released until December, which is faintly ridiculous, given we are still in June. ![]() And it still holds up as one of the best albums. Boy George joins Paul Weller for a performance of The Style Council’s ‘You’re The Best Thing’ This is masterful, mature rock, steeped in a growling mix of folk, soul, psychedelia, punk, and barroom blues.
