A four disc boxset celebrating the Jam's 30th anniversary of their final album The Gift is out today! The set features the remastered version of the original album along with a disc of remastered demos/alternative tracks (including 13 previously unreleased songs), a live set recorded during the band's final tour in 1982, and a DVD with live performances. The Gift 30th anniversary set is available now in the U.K. and will be available (as an import) in North America on November 27th.

Meanwhile, Paul Weller's Dragonfly ep will be released on limited edition vinyl and as a digital download on December 17th.  The ep features lead track "Dragonfly" from Weller's full length album Sonik Kicks, along with five other tracks.  The ep's artwork was designed by Sir Peter Blake who previously worked with Weller on the 1995 release Stanley Road.  Pre-order here.

Tonight the second half of Paul Weller's Maida Vale session recorded for the British program Mastertapes airs on the BBC.  The "B-side" show will be available to stream on demand after it airs tonight, but for now enjoy a performance of a new song titled "Gravity" taken from the B-side Mastertapes session below. The first half of the session ("A-side") premiered last week and is available to stream here.



Another Paul Weller session recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios is available to stream here.  Unfortunately, the session is geo-blocked and unavailable to view outside of the U.K. however a couple of songs have appeared on You Tube and are posted below.

"My Ever Changing Moods" (Abbey Road Sessions)



"The Changingman" (Abbey Road Sessions)



Paul Weller announced three U.K. stadium shows which take place next July. Details on the shows and ticket info posted here.
