Paul Weller - A Thousand Things

Paul Weller's 'A Thousand Things' is officially released on June 2, 2008!

A THOUSAND THINGS is not only written and signed by Paul Weller, he has also been instrumental in choosing the photographs that tell the story of an amazing 30-year recording career, from the earliest days of The Jam – with schoolfriend Steve Brookes on guitar – through the new modernism of The Style Council to his eight incredible solo albums.

A THOUSAND THINGS contains nearly 350 photographs and items of personal memorabilia printed on 230 pages, each edged in silver. Every copy is hand-made using traditional materials and printed on heavyweight archival paper.

Borrowing its dimensions from a traditional 12-inch LP record, the book’s format allows for the covers of every one of Paul Weller’s studio albums to be reproduced full size, as they were originally intended to be viewed.

The cover is bound in screen-printed buckram and the spine is a luxurious leather with the title embossed in silver along its length. The book and vinyl record are housed in a black buckram box, hand-made in Italy, screen-printed and foil-blocked in silver.

Visibly calm owing to post-tour exhaustion and a morning trip to the gym, Weller is here to be interviewed by John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes series. "Back in those days, bands put out an album a year, you toured with it for a year, then you went back in the studio and repeated the process. Looking back, I was glad I experienced that pressure. It helped me refine my craft and find myself as a writer. It kept me on my toes," says Weller, Gibson acoustic on knee. "It wasn't a treadmill, it was just what bands did back then. I never questioned it." Lest the passing decades dim...
