Yesterday’s exciting announcement that Paul Weller’s next album Find El Dorado will be a set of covers – his second, following 2004’s Studio 150 – had us eagerly digesting the tracklist, which includes Shindig!-friendly deep cuts by Richie Havens, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Bee Gees, Duncan Browne and more. Versions of UK art-pop songwriter Brian Protheroe’s 1974 hit ‘Pinball’ and obscure French band The Guerillas’ 1969 folk-funk gem ‘Lawdy Rolla’ are available on your favourite streaming platforms now, with a limited seven-inch in nifty replica company sleeve to follow on 20th June.
While we wait, enjoy our 20-track dip into songs covered by Weller live and in the studio during his 33-year solo career.
Find El Dorado is out on 25th July on Parlophone
