Setting Sons

Digitally remastered edition of Paul Weller and the boys' fifth album that stands as one of the best in their canon. It's late 1979 appearance was prefaced with the release of the single "The Eton Rifles", which pulled no punches and had their audience clamoring for more. Originally to be a concept album, hurried schedules prevented a fully realized vision to come to fruition, but what was issued is some of Weller's best songwriting. Plus, the album included a contribution from Bruce Foxton (Smothers-Jones). Other highlights include "Private Hell", "Girl on the Phone" and "Saturday's Kids".
