The Style Council was formed by Paul Weller after the breakup of The Jam, and it was 180 degrees different from the musicality of The Jam, and was influenced by R&B. Their debut album, "Cafe Bleu," was released in 1984 and reached No. 2 on the UK Album Charts and received a gold disc, which was followed by a world tour including Japan.The New York show on May 11 was recorded and broadcast for the popular American music program "King Biscuit Flower Hour," and the May 5 show at Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo was recorded and broadcast as a special TV program. This is a live album of the recordings from these two programs.
