Reviews Customer Reviews for Introducing The Style Council      Espresso, cigarettes and cafes....      Rating:      Having been a PW fan since his days with the Jam, I remember the day I picked up the Long Player single that came out before this record, to say the least, like many Jam fans I was disappointed, but after a month or so I put the record back on the turntable and loved it! Then this Record came out and I was done. The direction was fresh and soulful, if you missed this, the first time out don't miss it now. Perfect for the summer, perfect for the winter, really perfect all year around. The Style Council was just starting there scooters for this one, and I waited for each album after and I have yet to stop playing this record or any of there other's for that matter . While so much [...] came out in the 80's this long player made the difference. Buy It and you will know the sound and why we "keep on burning"! Introducing The Style Council is a must, stand outs include, Long Hot Summer, Speak Like a Child and Paris Match, and you can't forget Mick Talbot's great Organ playing on Mick's Up. I dare you to fine a record/song from the same period that still has meaning today, one listen to Money-Go-Round and you will agree we are still not off it. 7 songs of soul-jazz, served fresh and cool.Just the begining of something great a must have and if you have never listed to TSC you will never stop once started.     Customer Reviews for Introducing The Style Council Cd      Weller Goes Soul      Rating:      A rollicking fine debut which successfully launched Paul Weller's post-Jam foray into blue-eyed soul. While the formula would be refined and perfected before finally reaching an apex with "My Ever Changing Moods", the rawness and spontaneity of "Introducing" is hard to beat. While "Introducing" picked up its share of devoted followers, it never reached a mass audience. Too bad, as several stand-out tracks would have made fine singles. The effortless groove of lead track "Long Hot Summer" conjures the romantic image of escaping the daily grind on a blistering July day. The acoustic sing-a-long "Head Start For Happiness", adeptly structured on a bed of minor-seventh chords, is an achingly sincere love-fest. Best of all is "The Paris Match", a soaring romantic epic, which rightfully earns its place among the upper strata of Weller's work. Really there a no duds on the disc. Even throwaway "Mick's Up", a bluesy send-up a la Booker T & the MG's, is worthy. Overall, a fine introduction to a vastly underrated band.
