Paul Weller - Back in the Game - Non-Album Tracks (2015-2018)

I recently revamped a bunch of Paul Weller stray tracks albums. I ended up shifting some songs, so the first five songs here were on the last version of the previous album in this series, "Open Road." The rest here are new.

All but one of the songs here have been officially released. There's a mix of bonus tracks, A-sides, B-sides, EP tracks, and songs sung by Weller on other artists' albums. The two songs from an EP, "Birth of an Accidental Hipster" and "Whoosh," were released in 2022 but actually date to 2016 and 2017 respectively.

The one unreleased song is cover version of "Days" by the Kinks, performed on a radio show.

Speaking of covers, "Blackbird" and "I've Never Found a Girl (Who Loves Me like You Do)" are also covers. I believe the others are all originals.

This album is 41 minutes long.

The cover photo comes from a 2018 Weller concert tour poster. Even his name at the top is exactly how it was in the poster. I cropped out a bunch of text at the bottom and replaced it with the album name.
