No summer playlist would be complete without this absolute gem from the summer of 1983 by Paul Weller's second band, The Style Council. Released as part of a four track EP called A Paris, "Long Hot Summer" instantly vaulted to seasonal anthem status.

Serendipity!
The liner notes declared it would be played "everywhere on portable trannies for those of you who fall in love for the first time and out of love for the last..."
