Paul Weller

News from the Paul Weller camp:
Sea Spray/22 Dreams
"Last week we mentioned that Paul's next single will be 'Sea Spray/22 Dreams' and promised to bring more details on the formats that will be available. It will be released on download, CD and vinyl formats available from November 3rd. The CD will have three tracks: Sea Spray (radio edit)/22 Dreams and an acoustic version of 'Have You Made Up Your Mind' recorded on a Jonathan Ross Radio 2 session. The first vinyl version will come in a classic Island bag in eggshell blue with the radio edit of 'Sea Spray' backed by '22 Dreams' The second vinyl version will come in an art worked bag with a live version of 'Sea Spray' and also a live version of '22 Dreams' taken from the iTunes Festival gig at Koko back in July. You can pre-order all three formats in a bundle deal from Townsend Records by clicking here. Don't forget that the 74 track 'Weller At The BBC' box set comes out on the same day but we'll talk about the track listing and stuff next week.


You may be aware that Iain Munn's book 'Mr Cool's Dream - The Complete History Of The Style Council' is out this week in hardback with an exclusive foreword from Mr Weller himself. 'Mr Cool's Dream' was first published in 1996 and this new version is fully revised and updated with new features. You can buy it online.

Paul's whereabouts
At the moment Paul is still out in Europe playing live and this week will finish off with dates in Austria, Italy and Spain (including the afore-mentioned Madrid gig). After that he's off to Brazil for a couple of dates and then to Dubai. Next month, of course, he comes home to play his UK tour. So next week we'll talk about the track listing for 'Weller at the BBC' and the upcoming UK tour, until then have a good one.

Cheers"
