Introducing The Style Council is a mini-LP^[1] by English band The Style Council, released in 1983. Their debut release, it was released only in Australia, New Zealand, North America, Japan and the Netherlands – though the European release was heavily 'imported to' the United Kingdom. The album includes tracks from the band's first three UK single releases, as well as the club mix version of "Long Hot Summer". The band's official, full-length studio album, Café Bleu, was released the following year.
