The Style Council - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: Sight and Sound, Goldiggers, Chippenham, Britain, 3-10-1984

Here's the second of three volumes of Paul Weller's band the Style Council playing for the BBC. The first volume consists of BBC studio sessions. This one is a concert broadcast live on the BBC at the time.

This concert took place just a few days before the release of the band's first album, "Cafe Bleu." In my opinion, the band peaked around this time, so it's a good time for a BBC concert.

The sound quality of this concert is very good. Unfortunately, this is not the complete show. The last song fades out near its ending. I don't know what came after that. But some of the show is better than nothing.

This album is 38 minutes long.

The cover photo of band leader Paul Weller was taken at a concert at the Dominion Theatre in London on March 15th, 1984. So while it isn't from this concert, it was taken in the same city just a few days later.
