The Singular Adventures of The Style Council is the first greatest hits album by the Style Council, released in 1989. Subtitled Greatest Hits Vol. 1, there was never a 'Vol. 2' as the group broke up within a year of the album's release.
The album cover is a photograph showing all four members taken in 1987, an outtake from the photo session producing the US album cover to The Cost of Loving. Other photographs from the session were later used for Here's Some That Got Away and Greatest Hits.
"Promised Land" was from the sessions for the band's Modernism: A New Decade album, recorded in 1989 but which Polydor refused to release (this album was released instead). Modernism was not released until 1998. The album was released in March 1989 to positive reviews and reached number 3 in the UK Album Chart.
