Long Hot Summers: The Story Of The Style Council

C’est entouré de Mike Talbot au clavier et Steve White (Batterie) que Paul Weller va se muer en Crooner et réinventer la pop. En 1984, avec la sortie de Café Bleu, l’apparition de Tracey Thorn et Ben Watt (Everything but the girl) concrétise l’entrée de l’artiste dans les 80’s et préfigurera le son groovy de la scène anglaise de cette époque. La sortie de ce triple vinyle et de ce double CD, parait être l’hommage idéal à cette légende de la musique britannique.
