PAUL WELLER – Heavy Soul
LP – Black Vinyl
(Housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. Colour inner sleeve with photos and lyrics. 12 x 12” double sided colour insert with photos.)
After Stanley Road came the more ‘rootsy’, stripped-down style of Heavy Soul, once again the influence of British ‘blues-rock’ – Free, Spooky Tooth, Cat Stevens shone through (perhaps no coincidence that the album appeared on Island Records label!). The album included hit singles – Brushed, Friday Street, the jaunty 60s-inspired Mermaids and the riotous, Jam-like Peacock Suit.
