The Style Council / Long Hot Summers: The Story of The Style Council

New ‘best of’ • 2CD and 3LP vinyl editions

Long Hot Summers: The Story of The Style Council is a new Style Council greatest hits that is scheduled to be released next month.

“Endorsed and co-compiled” by Paul Weller himself, this collection features all the hits you might expect and includes two unreleased tracks: a demo of the top five single ‘My Ever Changing Moods’ with strings, and an extended, five-minute plus version of ‘Dropping Bombs On The Whitehouse’ (a shorter version features on 1984’s Café Bleu).


3LP edition of Long Hot Summers: The Story of The Style Council 

The two-CD edition features 37 tracks, while a 3LP vinyl package offers 32 tracks across six sides. The unreleased tracks are on both.

The release has been scheduled to tie in with a new Sky Arts documentary about the band which will be broadcast in the UK on 30 October 2020, the same day Long Hot Summers: The Story of The Style Council comes out.
