Album Notes
Personnel: Paul Weller (vocals, guitar, piano, electric piano, Wurlitzer piano, organ, Mellotron, Moog & Mini-Moog synthesizers, novatron, bass, percussion); Chris Bangs (various instruments); Carleen Anderson (vocals); Steve Cradock, Dr. Robert (guitar, bass, background vocals); The Wired Strings (strings); Mark Nelson (sitar, bass); Jacko Peake (flute, saxophone); Brendan Lynch (accordion); Mick Talbot (Fender Rhodes); Helen Turner (organ, novatron); Max Beasley (organ); Brendan Lynch (Mellotron, Mini-Moog synthesizer, cyremin); Yolanda Charles (bass); Steve White (drums, percussion); Simon Fowler (background vocals).Producers: Brendan Lynch, Paul Weller, Chris Bangs.For the U.S. market, the word "classics" is perhaps employed here with a certain irony, given that the vast majority of American listeners continue to turn the proverbial deaf ear to Weller's work. (of course, back in England, where he's a god, of course, these songs really were hits.) In any case, MODERN CLASSICS collects the best cuts from Weller's four solo albums released between 1992 and '97, the period when the former Jam-meister finally forged a coherent style out of his love for late-'60s artists like Traffic, the Small Faces, the Move, et al. What's particularly impressive is how the whole thing coheres. Despite the varying recording locations, dates, and personnel, the songs here sound like they were all bashed at one marathon all-night session.

Editorial Reviews
It's easy to gripe that '90s pop has become pasteurized and fake, but proto-mod Weller has spent the decade crafting simple, heartfelt, old-fashioned rock-soul that stands apart from the bogus phenomenettes foisted upon the market... - Rating: A-

What can I say that has not been said already about the most creative & influential man in the music buisness!!
Been a fan since 1977 and keeps maturing and improving all the time, like a fine wine many would say, much better than the Cappucino Kid :-))
Would encourage anyone that has not listened to much of PW's solo stuff to get this CD and find out what the masses are raving about.

I bought this cd for one song which was Broken Stones. Having listened to it it's definately not an album that your hooked from the first listen but Paul has an amazing voice and Broken stones is definately the best track on there for me.
