The Cost of Loving is an album from the band The Style Council, released in 1987. This album saw the group concentrating on the R&B styles that had been growing in America during the eighties. Its urban contemporary feel was a jolt to listeners who had grown accustomed to the Continental mix of soul, jazz, and European folk styles that the Council had displayed on their previous two albums.

  • The Cost of Loving is an album from the band The Style Council, released in 1987. This album saw the group concentrating on the R&B styles that had been growing in America during the eighties. Its urban contemporary feel was a jolt to listeners who had grown accustomed to the Continental mix of soul, jazz, and European folk styles that the Council had displayed on their previous two albums. United States label Geffen Records heard the tracks and promptly dropped The Style Council from their roster. Polygram records would eventually issue the album Stateside without its much-maligned International Orange jacket design. Socially Conscious Soul Music pioneer Curtis Mayfield was asked to mix some of the material on the album, which displays hints of being influenced by House Music and the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis sound. The initial British pressings of the album were conceived and issued as two 12" EPs in a gatefold sleeve (designed by Simon Halfon with ideas from Weller). Tracks from the album were included in a 37 minute film, Jerusalem, about the band.
  • The Cost Of Loving è un album del gruppo degli Style Council pubblicato nel 1987. Quest'album vede il gruppo concentrarsi sugli stili del R&B, che negli anni '80 si stava diffondendo in America. Le atmosfere urbane contemporanee di The Cost of Loving hanno rappresentato uno scossone per i fan, abituati a quel mix continentale di soul, jazz e folk europeo che aveva caratterizzato i due album precedenti del gruppo. L'etichetta statunitense Geffen, sentiti i brani, ha subito deciso di lasciar fuori il gruppo dalla propria scuderia. Alla fine è stata la Polygram ad accettare di pubblicare l'album negli Stati Uniti, sostituendo però la tanto criticata copertina color arancione internazionale. A Curtis Mayfield, pioniere della cosiddetta "musica soul socialmente consapevole", è stato chiesto di mixare parte del materiale dell'album, che evidenzia spunti provenienti dalla musica house e dalle sonorità di Jimmy Jam e Terry Lewis. L'edizione originale dell'album per il mercato britannico è concepita e pubblicata come doppio EP in formato 12" racchiuso in un pieghevole disegnato da Simon Halfon seguendo le idee di Weller.
