More than 40 years after the album debuted, the demo gives fans a chance to find something new from the group\u2019s oeuvre, and there will be more opportunities in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The Style Council was founded after The Jam broke up in 1982. Paul Weller, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of The Jam teamed with keyboardist Mick Talbot to create the new group, which burst into the scene with 1984\u2019s <em>Caf\u00e9 Bleu<\/em>. Weller described the first years of The Style Council as \u201cwonderful\u201d in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/uk\/culture\/a34534880\/paul-weller-style-council-documentary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>a 2020 interview with <em>Esquire<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. \u201cI had such a laugh and we had so much fun,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWe made so much music \u2013 good, bad and whatever \u2013 but we tried loads of different things and we didn\u2019t listen to anyone. We just fucking had it and did our own thing. Stuff you\u2019d never get away with doing now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The joy the musicians had creating <em>Caf\u00e9 Bleu<\/em> is palpable, and remains a standout in The Style Council\u2019s discography all these years later. The deluxe edition of the album out in January comes in either a 3LP or super deluxe 6CD set, both of which include a trove of B-sides, demos, outtakes, and alternate versions from its recording. There is also a selection of live recordings and BBC sessions included with the set, as well as new liner notes from Gary Crowley. As Weller said later of recording the first album, \u201cIt was totally liberating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/TheStyleCouncil.lnk.to\/CafeBleu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Listen to The Style Council\u2019s \u201cTake It to the Top (Demo)\u201d now.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!--US \/ UK English--><\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.udiscovermusic.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans of The Style Council are in for a treat: a previously-unreleased track from the group\u2019s Cafe Bleu is out now. \u201cTake It To The Top (Demo)\u201d comes from the deluxe reissue of the group\u2019s debut album, which was announced earlier this month and is officially on sale January 30.
