The Style Council - Café Bleu (Special Edition)

With their debut album Café Bleu, Paul Weller and his right-hand man Mick Talbot introduced a cosmopolitan blend of jazz, soul, and pop that sounded both refined and boldly fresh. Café Bleu was more than a debut: it was a statement, a redefinition of how British pop could sound in a new decade.

The Special Edition is a true treasure for Style Council fans and music lovers alike—an immersive journey through one of the most inventive periods
in Paul Weller’s career.

This luxurious release reveals a wealth of previously unheard material, including early demos, alternative takes, and unreleased tracks that expose
the band’s restless experimental spirit and constant evolution.

The set is further enriched by an exceptional collection of BBC sessions and live recordings, capturing The Style Council at the height of their
creative powers.

The package is completed by new, in-depth liner notes from broadcaster and longtime Café Bleu devotee Gary Crowley, offering a fresh and personal perspective on the enduring legacy of this timeless classic.

Café Bleu – Special Edition will be available as a set of 6 cd's en 3 vinyl-lp's.
