Paul Weller’s 2003 compilation “Fly On The Wall” – a collection of b-sides, remixes and rarities is being given the reissue treatment on August 9th.
A triple vinyl compilation, it brings together rarities from Paul’s time first at Go! Discs and then subsequently Island Records.
Spanning the period 1991 – 2001, the set hasn’t been available since its original release in 2003.
Additionally, this release will also be made available digitally for the first time.
Spanning a time when Weller was incredibly prolific and on the top of his game – so much so, he could throw some of this material onto B sides when it could so easily sit side by side on any of the 3 albums released around this period.
Bustling with energy and style, this collection is a stellar document of a star maturing and growing in confidence. Highlights include: The Loved, Fly On The Wall and The Riverbank (a reworking of a classic Jam B side – Tales From The Riverbank). The track-list also features Weller’s take on some classic tunes, including Lennon’s Sexy Sadie & Instant Karma, Dylan’s I Shall Be Released and a sparkling live version of Neil Young’s Ohio which was originally on The Weaver E.P. Remixes include Portishead’s working of “Wild Wood”.
