Paul Weller has revealed the video for new single 'Dragonfly', taken off Paul's new EP of the same name, which is out 17th December. The EP is a collection of hidden gems brought together for the first time from the critically acclaimed 'Sonik Kicks' album recording sessions.
An absolute must for all Paul Weller, and indeed vinyl fans, on December 17th Island Records release a strictly limited numbered edition of 3000 copies of the 'Dragonfly' EP. Not only is it super-limited but the beautiful artwork has been specially commissioned by none other than one of Britain’s greatest artists Sir Peter Blake – the first time he has collaborated with Weller since he designed the iconic 'Stanley Road' album sleeve in 1995. The EP’s title track 'Dragonfly' is taken from Paul’s No. 1 album 'Sonik Kicks'.
As well as 'Dragonfly', the EP also features various bonus tracks and former b-sides all which have not been available on vinyl before now.
'Dragonfly' tracklisting is as follows:
A1. Dragonfly
A2. Lay down your weary burden
A3. Portal to the past
B1. Devotion
B2. We got a lot
B3. The Piper
These hidden gems all together for the first time come from the critically acclaimed 'Sonik Kicks' album recording sessions and were originally available from these places: 'Lay Down Your Weary Burden' and 'We Got A Lot' were on the Japanese version of 'Sonik Kicks' and on the 'When Your Garden's Overgrown' EP, 'Portal To The Past' was on the 'Dangerous Age' single, 'Devotion' featured on the deluxe album and Japanese album, and finally, 'The Piper' was on 'The Attic' EP.
This EP will be exclusively available from www.paulweller.com. So HURRY.
