Paul Weller - More Wood (Little Splinters) (1994)

I think Paul Weller is another one of the all-time musical greats - with the Jam, the Style Council, and solo. But he's one of those greats who has a habit of releasing all kinds of interesting things that he doesn't put out on albums, including keeping up the tradition of releasing lots of B-sides.

I'm going to post all sorts of things by him here. But if you only have his official albums and nothing else, here's sort of an official album to get you started. In 1993, Weller hit a creative peak with the album "Wild Wood." He was at such a peak, that all his stray tracks from this period are very good. A bunch of them were collected as an album with a well-thought out track order, but the album only came out in Japan. About half the tracks were previously released B-sides, and about half first came out on this album. Here it is. (Buy it if you live in Japan!)

The title - "More Wood (Little Splinters)" - is very apt, because it continues the mood and musical style of "Wild Wood" exactly.

By the way, the last song on this album is a remix of a song from his first solo album, "Paul Weller," which came out before Wild Wood. It's my favorite remix of all time!

This album is 45 minutes long.
