The Style Council - Café Bleu (Special Edition) - LP

3LP Special Expanded Edition, Tri-Fold Jacket

When The Style Council's debut album Café Bleu arrived in 1984, Paul Weller and Mick Talbot unveiled a cosmopolitan blend of jazz, soul, and pop that redefined what British pop could sound like. This lavish Special Edition expands the album to three LPs, adding a treasure trove of early demos, alternate takes, and previously unreleased songs that capture the band's restless drive for experimentation.
