I also eventually picked up the "follow up":

Complete-Adventures-Of-The-Style-Council.jpg

I've got that also. Not too many Style Council fans 'round these parts.

I'll stand up for the first ep and album. After that … um, some okay singles. "Speak Like a Child" is especially superb.

I agree with this statement, I got the box just for the unreleased Modernism album, which wasn't really that good

I got this box set very recently, been meaning to get it for ages. Haven't listened to the Modernism disc much yet. Agreed that the Introducing EP/mini LP is good. First album is good, but perhaps doesn't flow very well due to the instrumentals? My favourite is Our Favourite Shop, I think that hangs together really well as an album. Man of Great Promise is stand out for me. A bit law of diminishing returns after that, I think.

I agree with this. There are still good tracks scattered here and there after Our Favourite Shop. A lot of the early B-sides are very good. I also have the two live albums.

I agree with that too. Piccadilly Trail, Just came to pieces in my hand, Ghosts of Dachau plus plenty of others. I have one of the live albums. I really like When you call me. Didn’t hear a studio version of that for ages, I wasn’t sure if one even existed.

I have Home and Abroad live album it is great. Weller stuff always sounds great live.

This week I've been getting Down With the King. No not Elvis but the latest album from The Panic Report. It's a cracker of an album and fave tunes thus far are "Codes Are Red" "The Land of Opportunity" and "Black Rats". Nice nod to Capital Radio in "Off the Map". Not sure about the Nancy Sinarta cover but it adds some light relief. Great album get yerself a listen NOW!

Heston kindly gave me an upload. I don't think the physical copy is released yet. I'm sure Heston will be along shortly to give more info.

Thank you kindly Marky, glad you're digging it. I will stick a link up when the artwork is done which should be this week. The Nancy cover was done as it's a bit of a live favourite and yeah, maybe a bit light relief.

The lads in the band loved it mate, glad we got it together.

One of my favourite Wobble albums, this one applying his dub thing to Laotian music.

I'm listening to this band, Maxïmo Park, because I heard they were influenced by Magazine, but they just sound like the clutch of neo-post-punk bands from the 2000's.

Heh, I remember checking them out based on the same comparison and soon walked away.

I'm now checking out Mansun from the very same comparison, and liking them more, probably because they aren't trying to sound like anyone else, and they are a little more high-concept.

Addendum: do you have the "final" version of CZ? I know there's a lot of copies floating around in various stages of completion and I'm not sure which one I have.

I've heard "Wide Open Space" from them and liked it well enough, but nothing else.
