"With the exception of two missing tracks, the DVD version is identical, except you get video and surround mixes, and it's $16 cheaper."
30 years of greatness

"Paul Weller either with The Jam, Style Council or simply Paul Weller; has always been at the cutting edge of music. Paul possesses a style and an edge for invention and self renewal. He is a modern day icon.



This box set has 64 singles that charts this man stunning career.



Recognized in 2006 by the British music industry for a life time achievement. He is affectionately know as the 'Modster'



In short - a wonderful box-set for a wonderful & talented man."
5 star music, docked 2 stars for package

"A Jam greatest hits.

A Style Council greatest hits.

A Paul Weller greatest hits.

All 3 in one nice 4 disc box set? Fantastic.

Only 2 problems:

1) No single versions (were there any?) nor any B-sides, alternate takes..anything a fan wouldn't already have, twice (and let's face it, a "fan" is the only one who's going to shell out for a 4 disc set)

2) Would it have hurt to have actually proof read the book??? The text has multiple examples of repeated sentences and the layout makes virtually no sense whatsoever (ex: The Style Council's disc listings are in the middle of The Jam's history). I purchased this used and cheap, so I am not complaining too loudly...but the man deserves better.

In summery: 5 stars for the music. Minus a star for the lack of new/rare material and minus another for the rush job on the book."
