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 .
The new track, "Promised Land", was a preview of the house-influenced direction of the band's next studio album, Modernism: A New Decade , intended for release later in 1989, but which their record company, Polydor, refused to release. Modernism was not released until 1998. The Singular Adventures... was released in March 1989 to positive reviews and reached number 3 in the UK Album Chart.
