Our pick of releases for the run-up to Christmas opens with the extraordinary performance captured on An Orchestrated Songbook<\/em><\/strong> in which Paul Weller<\/strong> exquisitely reworked and updated a quintessential selection of his vast catalogue into 75 minutes of breath-taking music that was broadcast by the BBC. The set list includes classic tracks from The Jam, Style Council and Paul\u2019s solo career right up to his recent No 1 albums On Sunset<\/em> and Fat Pop Volume 1<\/em>. All tracks are given the most sublime orchestral treatments; conductor Jules Buckley has clearly done his homework with a stunning atmospheric interpretation of The Jam\u2019s \u2018English Rose\u2019 with sweeping strings showcasing its sparse beauty. Special guest Celeste adds even more elegance to the classic \u2018Wild Wood\u2019, while fan favourite \u2018Broken Stones\u2019 soulfully shimmers with a scene-stealing guest duet performance from James Morrison. To top things off, national treasure Boy George joins Paul for a version of The Style Council\u2019s hit single \u2018You\u2019re The Best Thing\u2019. The set comes to a close with sublime versions of the classic \u2018You Do Something To Me\u2019 and the majestic \u2018White Horses\u2019 from the album True Meanings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Between 1994 and 2001, Green Day<\/strong> visited the BBC\u2019s Maida Vale Studios in London four times to record live sessions for Steve Lamacq\u2019s \u2018Evening Show\u2019 on Radio 1. BBC Sessions<\/em><\/strong> documents the 16 tracks from those sessions, all of which are being released for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now for a gentleman who\u2019s come all the way from Kingston, Jamaica and a place called Cling Cling Avenue. We present to you the one and only, the Originator, the Godfather, Daddy U Roy!<\/em>\u201d U Roy<\/strong> had visited Brighton before but there was something special about that balmy night in August 2017, when he walked out on stage at the Komedia to a hero\u2019s welcome and immediately got the crowd cheering and dancing. There was so much warmth and excitement generated that night, and it\u2019s all captured on this final live album of the reggae superstar\u2019s illustrious career.<\/p>\n

Fever Dreams Pt 2<\/em><\/strong> previews four brand-new tracks that make up the second quarter of Johnny Marr<\/strong>\u2019s forthcoming double album, Fever Dreams Pts 1-4<\/em>. \u2018Sensory Street\u2019 follows on electro-soul album opener \u2018Spirit, Power and Soul\u2019s anthemic strand, a startling track with strident electronics, whilst \u2018Tenement Time\u2019 marks the end of the double album\u2019s first half; a rousing, reflective creation fusing sonic power with an emotional potency. Both highlight the sheer sonic scale of the album. The EP is released on transparent violet vinyl, exclusively through UK RSD Stores, and limited to 750 copies.<\/p>\n

2021 marks 25 years since Jamiroquai<\/strong> released their seminal funk-pop classic Travelling Without Moving<\/em><\/strong> into the world, featuring the classic singles \u2018Virtual Insanity\u2019 and \u2018Cosmic Girl\u2019. The album has since sold over 8 million sales worldwide, making it the best-selling funk record of all time and cementing Jamiroquai into the musical landscape. A special edition yellow-vinyl re-issue is being released to mark this anniversary.<\/p>\n

Our release of the week is Barn<\/em><\/strong>, the new studio album from Neil Young & Crazy Horse<\/strong> \u2013 Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina and Nils Lofgren \u2013 featuring 10 new songs that capture the raw, idiosyncratic rock and roll spirit and lyrical beauty that epitomises a classic Neil Young Crazy Horse collaboration. The recording process informed the title: the album was recorded in a barn, high in the mountains of Colorado, a replica built to replace an original barn that collapsed in 1850. \u201cThe Horse is back in the barn, shaking off the rust,<\/em>\u201d wrote Young in an Archives update. \u201cIt has been a long time since we have been together and more than a few tears have been shed. These are new times, with new songs and feelings after what our world has been through and continues to face.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
