Suggs/ Paul Weller - Ooh Do U Fink U R - Limited

OOH DO U FINK U R is a gloriously sunny, optimistic and defiant Motown and 60s R&B influenced stomper drawing on Suggs and Wellers upbringing in Britains 1970s comprehensive school system in London and Woking respectively. This picture disc is a Record Store Day 2023 exclusive, following from the sold out limited 7 release from June 22. Having known each other on-and-off over the last four decades, the seeds of this collaboration emerged in 2019 when Weller joined Suggs on his Radio Four series Love Letters To London to talk about an ever changing Soho. As the world subsequently went into lockdown in 2020, the pair started chatting more and more frequently about music, clothes and football, eventually exchanging half finished songs, demos and sketches of lyrics. With it's working class aesthetic, Motown influenced stomp, and uplifting brass, it's an intuitive collaboration that sits neatly as a welcome addition to both mens great songbooks.
