Paul
Weller has unveiled the video for his Record Store Day track 'Brand New Toy'.
In the
promo, the singer appears performing at a piano inside a giant kaleidoscope
bathed in red and blue light.
The
track will feature on Weller's forthcoming new compilation album 'More Modern
Classics', which includes tracks from the past 15 years of the singer's solo
career and is released on June 2.
'Brand
New Toy' was first released as a limited edition seven-inch for Record Store
Day on April 19. Earlier this week, however, Weller announced that he would not
be taking part in the event again in a blog post attacking "touts"
selling the limited-edition release on eBay at inflated prices, which he said
"goes against the whole philosophy" behind the annual event.
Record
Store Day organisers have since released a statement, saying that they were
"disappointed" that touts are exploiting the event, which aims to
support independent record shops. The statement also said that, as only 500
copies of 'Brand New Toy' were available, "some re-selling was
expected".
