Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1992-1994

For all of Paul Weller's career, first with the Jam, then the Style Council, and finally as a solo artist, he has frequently played for the BBC. The includes both full concerts and studio sessions. This is the first volume dedicated just to BBC studio sessions.

I like nearly all of Weller's music, but my favorite solo album of his is probably "Wild Wood," from 1993. I think he was having a creative rebirth around then, and even his B-sides and other stray tracks were really good. So this is a particularly solid collection of performances. 

There's a mix of band and solo acoustic versions. For the songs "Foot of the Mountain," "Out of the Sinking," and "Hung Up," I've included both versions. However, the other version of "Foot of the Mountain" will appear on a later volume. (These all appear in chronological order of when the sessions took place.)

This album is 55 minutes long.

I don't know anything about the cover photo except that it's from the early 1990s.
