Catch-Flame! was recorded at London’s Alexandra Palace and is Paul Weller’s third solo live album. Recorded on 5th December – the last date of Weller’s 2005 UK tour – it features live versions of songs spanning his entire career, including those of The Jam and The Style Council.

The album has attracted faint rumblings of criticism from fans due to the slight deviation from the original setlist of the concert. Certain songs have been omitted from the CD: Mermaids, Amongst Butterflies, Early Morning Rain, Here’s The Good News, and We All Need Love, a duet with The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess. Nevertheless, it is a fine reflection of Paul Weller’s career and encapsulates the passion and energy that still emanates from his concerts, and proves to critics that he still bounds on stage with the same élan and ferventness that he did when he was a young man with The Jam.

Catch-Flame! entered the UK chart at #17 on 18th June 2006.
