Paul Weller - Acoustic Radio Sessions, 1993-1994

A few days ago, it was pointed out to me that a bunch of download links for Paul Weller albums died out. So I've just redone ALL the links to ALL Paul Weller solo albums here. That took some time to do, because while I was at it, I readjusted the albums to improve the volume balance from song to song. (I plan on doing that to everything I've posted here, but it's a long, slow process.) So, even if you have those albums again, I suggest you download them again. They sound better now, trust me.

Anyway, while I was at it, I decided to post something new from Mr. Weller. He does have an album that's a couple of months old, "Fat Pop, Volume 1," that's pretty good. But I don't have any newish material to post for him at the moment, so I've gone back to near the start of his solo career, 1993 and 1994. Personally, I think that was a particularly creative time for him. 

This is a compilation of three in-person radio station appearances where he played some songs by himself on acoustic guitar. There's nothing earth-shattering here - all the rare songs he did I've already put on various stray tracks albums - but it's a nice, mellow listen. Plus, he talked a bit between songs and sometimes explained what the songs were about. Also, the sound quality is excellent throughout, since this is basically like a studio recording, with no audience noise.

The album is 57 minutes long.

The album cover features a photo of Weller in concert in 1994. I chose this one since it shows him playing an acoustic guitar.

    1. I just fixed the Arrival Time link. The other one is a Jam album. I haven't tried fixing those yet - I'll get to that in the next couple of days.
