They already own the records, and both of his old bands turn up here in ways the albums never show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free.

The Jam and the Style Council were separate bands with their own line-ups, so they are not plotted here as albums. They arrive on the map another way, which is the part most people find surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this Paul Weller discography map art print makes a gift fans keep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty years of records with a rotating cast produce a map that never settles into a single shape. One line holds it together besides Weller's, and it is not the one most fans would name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other reward is the way his past keeps reappearing without ever being an album on the sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteve Cradock of Ocean Colour Scene has the longest line after Weller himself, credited on 18 of the 21 releases, from Wild Wood in 1993 to 66 in 2024. Steve White drums on the first ten, and Andy Crofts and Steve Pilgrim carry the later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth of the bands Weller led before this catalogue began to turn up in it. Bruce Foxton of The Jam appears once, on Wake Up the Nation, and Steve Brookes, who founded The Jam with Weller and left before its first single, plays on three albums between 2015 and 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMick Talbot of the Style Council spans 1993 to 2020, and Dee C. Lee sings on the first two records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoel Gallagher is credited on five albums: Stanley Rd, Illumination, 22 Dreams, Sonik Kicks and True Meanings. Steve Winwood, Jools Holland, Graham Coxon of Blur, Robert Wyatt, Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, Bev Bevan and Clem Cattini all appear at different points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWake Up the Nation is the strangest gathering of the lot, putting Foxton, Coxon, Shields, Bevan and Cattini on one record, with the Woking Gay Community Choir singing on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio 150, named in 2004 after the Amsterdam studio where it was recorded, is the busiest station on the whole print, built almost entirely by Dutch players. Three Wellers sing on the later albums: Hannah, Leah and Mac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
