Paul Weller - Paul Weller LP

Reissue of the 1992 debut solo album by Paul Weller.

The album represents something of a return to Weller's 'roots', with Into Tomorrow and Uh Huh Oh Yeh in particular being heavily influenced by 60s R&B. "'Uh Huh Oh Yeh' and, after it, the Stanley Road album was me revisiting my roots," he said. "I hadn't been down to Woking in a long time. That was the first time, in the early '90s, when I was finding my feet again." The album as a whole retained some of the funk influences displayed by The Style Council, particularly on I Didn't Mean To Hurt You and Remember How We Started. Tellingly, however, the political leanings of The Style Council are - explicitly at least - abandoned; the lyrical themes visited on the album being much more personal.
