Heavy Soul is the fourth album by English singer-songwriter Paul Weller, originally released on 23 June 1997 (5 August in the USA). The album received largely favourable reviews. It sold enough to be the number one album on its week of release, however it was denied this position on a technicality - five images within the album's booklet were replaced with postcards of the images in the Special Edition release, meaning that sales of the Special Edition did not count towards the album's sales as they were defined as free gifts.
All tracks composed by Paul Weller; except where indicated
The Japanese edition included a bonus track, "Eye of the Storm" which was originally on the b-side of the "Peacock Suit" single.
