Fly on the Wall
I took my 3 CDs out and put them in CD cases on the shelves). Great idea (except for those cardboard sleeves.
All those elusive b-sides and rare songs from singles (not available on the regular albums) are collected here. It'll save you a fortune in singles if nothing else.
The songs are great too, including the instrumentals.
PAUL, CAN YOU DO THE SAME TREATMENT WITH THE STYLE COUNCIL B-SIDES AND RARITIES. A SIMILAR ALBUM WOULD BE WELCOMED BY THE FANS, I'M SURE.
Love this stuff.


A must for completists and Wellerheads
Tracks like Fly on the wall- everything has a price to pay- a year late- the portishead remix of wildwood- and Heres a new thing are quality tunes that most artists would kill for. This nice miniboxset is a must for all you Weller fans and contains some bsides that are better than alot of his album tracks. The covers album is solid but not great but the abundance of experimental tracks and remix material shows Weller isnt the "safe" musician some critics claim he is. Theres some acid jazz-techno- alittle triphop and ambient scattered on a few songs-something that he doesnt get credit for. The lower price makes this a good buy and a tidy way to collect all those expensive ebay oop singles. For the new or casual fan this may not be essential but you could do no harm by picking this up!.


Great pacakge from a Great Artist!!!
It is a shame that the rest of the U. All I can say is, Paul Weller is GOD!!!
I have been a huge Weller fan since the Jam days, and just about everything he does is excellent. S. , does not recognize his greatness.
This 3 cd box set contains all of Wellers b-sides, and covers that have not been released in the U. S. . Many of these b-sides have already been released in Europe, and Japan, but not here.
See him live, when he tours the U. S. in October of 2003.


Cheap Way to Buy Rare Out of Print Paul Weller Singles
Yes, there are many throw away tunes here including Kosmos but the covers and the live cuts all together in this box set are really nice to have on only a few long playing CD's instead of the stack of CD singles I constantly have to look for. Having spent a lot of time, money, and effort in purchasing dozens of the many Paul Weller singles on CD since 1990 (and not being able to find many that I'd like for a reasonable price) I welcome this compilation. This "Fly on the Wall" compilation is only for the serious Paul Weller fan I'd imagine. If you want to have a great Paul Weller compilation full of listenable hits then "Modern Classics" with the bonus live CD would be to your liking, or his latest "Illumination" album with the DVD that is quite moving and not unlike the early Rod Stewart "Gasoline Alley" album in its overall sound, especially the cut "Going Places. " The reason this compilation of songs is necessary is that most of these are deleted and rare CD's and are on many labels. This box set puts them all together. Plus, Paul Weller will get the profits with your purchase that he richly deserves for three decades of fine music.


Because the studio albums don't tell the whole story.
The discs are packaged in a lovely white box. Fly On The Wall is a 39 track, 3 CD compilation of B sides, rarities and cover versions. Also enclosed is a handsome booklet that features photographs and liner notes by former NME scribe John Harris.

As you can tell from the tracklisting above, Fly On The Wall is an essential purchase for the Paul Weller fan. Everything included here is of a very high standard. I'm particularily fond of the remixes by the likes of Brendan Lynch, Portishead and Noonday Underground (although for some odd reason Lynch's wonderful rearrangement of Sunflower is absent).

There are a few unadventurous souls out there who feel Paul Weller should still be fronting The Jam (see the other "reviews" for proof), in the meantime the rest of us will sit back and enjoy a boxset that contains some of his best ever material.
