First Ever Vinyl Reissue Cut on 180g LP at London's Metropolis Studios and Pressed at MPO in France!
Paul Weller remains a true British icon, with a career in music spanning six decades. Weller has now had 50 top 40 albums across the Jam, the Style Council and his solo releases, including seven number ones – the latest, Fat Pop, was released in May 2021.
Craft Recordings presents a first ever vinyl reissue of Weller's sixth solo studio album and second solo No. 1, Illumination. With soul taking center stage and displaying effortless production and songwriting, the 2002 release includes the hit singles "It's Written in the Stars" and "Leafy Mysteries" and features guest performances from Carleen Anderson, Jocelyn Brown, Kelly Jones and Noel Gallagher. The Guardian's 4 star review of Illumination proclaimed that, "The trinity that opens his sixth solo album is his best work in ages, by turns love-besotted, politically outraged and burning with spite. What a surprise – just when you thought Weller would never do it again, he goes and does it."
Cut on 180g LP at London's Metropolis Studios and pressed at MPO in France, the faithful original packaging replication includes a bespoke sleeve with rounded corners.
