Paul Weller annuncia “Weller At The BBC Vol.2”. Ecco la tracklist completa

Paul Weller pubblicherà "Weller At The Bbc Vol.2", nuova raccolta tripla che documenta sedici anni di session e concerti registrati per la Bbc tra il 2008 e il 2024. Il progetto sarà disponibile in triplo Lp e triplo cd e rappresenta l’ideale prosecuzione di "Weller At The Bbc", uscito nel 2008 e dedicato alle performance trasmesse tra il 1990 e il 2008. Qui il pre-order.
Il repertorio attraversa l’intero arco della sua carriera: brani solisti come "Wild Wood", "Broken Stones", "Wake Up The Nation", "Aspects", "That Dangerous Age" e "Fat Pop", ma anche classici del periodo con The Jam e The Style Council, tra cui "Start!", "The Eton Rifles", "Shout To The Top" e "My Ever Changing Moods".
Accanto al materiale originale compaiono diverse riletture: "Time Of The Season" degli Zombies, "Days" dei Kinks, "I’ve Never Found A Girl (Who Loves Me Like You Do)" di Eddie Floyd, fino a "What Was I Made For?" di Billie Eilish. Una panoramica che mette in evidenza la varietà del suo canzoniere e le sue affinità elettive. La raccolta include anche "When Your Garden’s Overgrown" e "Boy About Town", gli stessi brani scelti per l’uscita in 7" pubblicata in occasione del Record Store Day.

Pubblicato da Parlophone il 24 aprile, il cofanetto arriva dopo un periodo particolarmente produttivo: nel 2024 Weller ha dato alle stampe "66", suo ultimo album in studio, preceduto nel 2023 da "Find El Dorado", raccolta di reinterpretazioni dal forte carattere personale.
I tre dischi raccolgono registrazioni effettuate in contesti differenti – dalle session negli studi di Maida Vale ai concerti per Radio 2 al Bbc Radio Theatre – offrendo versioni spesso alternative rispetto a quelle ufficiali.
Alcuni brani sono disponibili esclusivamente in formato cd (indicati con asterisco nell’edizione fisica), scelta che differenzia le due configurazioni del prodotto.

In parallelo all’uscita del cofanetto, Weller ha ampliato il calendario del tour estivo nel Regno Unito e in Irlanda, aggiungendo date a Belfast, Cork, Dublino e Ludlow. In tutte le date britanniche sarà affiancato da Miles Kane come special guest. Il calendario completo comprende tappe a Scarborough, Lincoln, Halifax, Liverpool, Southampton, Belfast, Cork, Dublino, Margate, Bedford, Newcastle e Ludlow tra giugno e luglio.

"Weller At The BBC Vol.2" si presenta come un archivio ragionato delle sue apparizioni radiofoniche più recenti: un documento che restituisce l’evoluzione del suo suono negli ultimi quindici anni, attraverso contesti esecutivi differenti e repertori che intrecciano passato e presente.
Ecco la tracklist integrale e la cover di "Weller At The BBC Vol.2".
