Wake Up the Nation
After an unparalleled career, characterized by constant musical experimentation, we should be used to Paul Weller's relentless desire to chop and change his sound. But after the triumphant, Brit Award-bagging success of 22 Dreams (his third solo number one in the UK), his new album Wake Up the Nation sees one of rock's most iconic songwriters expand and evolve once more. A departure stylistically from the more pastoral sounds of his last album, Wake Up is lean, mean and as uncompromisingly focused as its maker. It also brings Paul Weller full circle: twenty-eight years on from The Jam's split, two tracks feature the former bassist Bruce Foxton. The album also sees contributions from My Bloody Valentine guitar alchemist Kevin Shields, ELO's Bev Bevan and legendary session drummer Clem Cattini.

22 Dreams
"After As Is Now I thought the time was right to make the sort of record I wanted to make," says Paul Weller of the creative process which led to his striking ninth solo album 22 Dreams. "Instead of worrying about anyone else, I wanted to really push the boat out. I think the result is going to surprise a few people." Surprises have always been part of the artistic vernacular for the man who changed rock forever with The Jam, explored eclectic influences with The Style Council and cemented his position as the patriarch of Brit pop with his legendary solo work.
22 Dreams is the latest chapter in a creative journey spanning 30 years, with material spanning the full breadth of popular music - rock to classical, avant garde to funk and spoken word to experimental. In addition to a cast of Weller's frequent collaborators including Steve Cradock and producer Simon Dine, 22 Dreams also features some of the largest beneficiaries of Weller's incalculable musical influence. Noel Gallagher and Gem from Oasis lend their talents to 'Echoes Around the Sun,' a writing collaboration between Weller and Gallagher. Ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appears on 'Black River.' The spirit of collaboration and an in-the-moment creative approach have resulted in one of Weller's most spirited works and one that is sure to expand the artistic canon of the one and only 'Modfather.'

Wild Wood
The 1993 release of Wild Wood single handedly changed Weller's persona. No longer was he only "Paul Weller of The Jam/Style Council," now he was the larger than life "Modfather," the patriarch of Britpop and all things hip. Led by a renewed creative spark and expanded influences including Nick Drake, Traffic and even Crosby, Stills & Nash, Weller produced, according to Q Magazine, a "pastoral coming of age masterpiece."
Wild Wood single-handedly defined Weller as a solo artist while simultaneously wrenching British rock from the grips of techno in the UK and the imposing influence of grunge from the west. This deluxe edition reissue includes an expanse of bonus material including b sides, demos, BBC session versions and unreleased tracks reinforcing the fact that Wild Wood, as Uncut Magazine put it, "...made the Modfather, it changed British rock."

As Is Now
CLICK HERE TO GET A "COME ON LET'S GO" RINGTONE
"As Is Now" finds Paul Weller plugging in and turning up the volume louder than he has in years. As the voice of punk legends The Jam, Weller influenced virtually every U.K. band that followed. The Jam's popularity is legendary; they once reached #21 on the U.K. charts without even releasing the single in that country (it was driven there based solely on imports from Germany). One listen to "From the Floorboards Up," the first single off "As Is Now," makes it clear this album is a departure from his recent acoustic-oriented releases. Music Week declares, "['From the Floorboards Up'] comes out of nowhere and it is 2 minutes 27 seconds of edgy malevolent rock'n'roll. Possessing the same urgency 'In The City' had 29 years ago, it shows Paul Weller rejuvenated -- a livewire and firebrand ready to take on all comers." For the first time in ages, Weller will kick off the release of his new album with a limited run of tour dates in the U.S. Standard Jewel Case

Two Classic Performances
Always known for his live performances, including his recent US tour and European tours supporting the release of his new album "Illumination", "Paul Weller--Two Classic Performances" captures two complete and very different Weller live experiences. The DVD contains the two hour Live at Hyde Park performance in front of 22,000 Weller fans in London. With full band, this show include guest spots from Jocelyn Brown, Carleen Anderson and Stereophonic's Kelly Jones. This performance was the first time his fans could hear songs from "Illumination" which would go straight in at No. 1 a few months later in the UK. The second performance, 'Paul Weller...Later with Jools Holland' was recorded last Christmas in support of his hugely successful "Days of Speed" album--the first time in 10 years Paul had performed anything from his Jam and Style Council back catalogue, stripped down to just him and a guitar. This is the second time that Paul has been honored with a full-length Jool Holland program of his own. Over an hour, this performance includes guest appearances from Noel Gallagher and Jools Holland and includes two previously unseen songs not shown when the show aired last year. In addition to the performances, "Paul Weller-Two Classic Performaces" contains an interview with Paul Weller and other backstage looks at the songwriter whose career is now in it's third incarnation.

Illumination
Yep Roc is proud to release "Illumination", the sixth solo album from Paul Weller and his first U.S. studio effort since 1997's "Heavy Soul". As the young voice of punk legends The Jam, Paul Weller has influenced nearly every important UK band of the last 20 years. The list counts UK charttoppers Blur, Supergrass, and Oasis (Oasis leader Noel Gallagher makes an guest appearance on "Illumination") among his many admirers. Since disbanding The Jam in 1982, Weller has created a a slew of great records--first as the focal point of The Style Council ('My Ever Changing Moods' was a worldwide smash in 1984), followed by his current solo output--while still retaining the mantle of most beloved popstar in the UK. As proof, "Illumination" debuted #1 on the UK charts. The Yep Roc release of "Illumination" will include bonuses exclusive to this version (and not found on any import). Plus, in early 2003, Paul Weller will embark on his first extended U.S. tour in many years. The soulful "Illumination" may well his finest release to date and is a warm reintroduction to Paul Weller.
