PAUL WELLER – WAKE UP THE NATION REMIXED/REISSUE
The Jam’s Paul Weller is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his 10th solo album, Wake Up the Nation, with a newly updated remix of the album.
“I was never happy with the mix on Wake Up the Nation. So when someone pointed out that it had been 10 years since it’s been out I thought it was a good opportunity to try a re-mix on it. I liked the chaos and intensity of the original but I could hear how much you couldn’t hear in it. I think the new mix reveals lots more parts that you didn’t hear in the original while still keeping the energy” – Paul Weller
