In a nutshell: When Paul Weller traded in his jazz-casual Style Council for the chunky jumper of folk-rock the nation breathed an audible sigh of relief. Out rushed some of the best material of his career (Sunflower, Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)), the grateful people crowned him Modfather and a new generation of Brit-Poppers queued up to kiss the hem of his (still very stylish) garments. This 2CD Deluxe Edition fleshes out the original with a whopping 28 alternate takes and bonus cover versions.

Imagine if you will: Your favourite uncle ditching the teenage girlfriend and moving back in with Auntie.
