Groovin’ is a 12” EP by The Style Council, released in 1984 on Polydor Records during the group’s early and most influential period.

The record centres on “The Big Boss Groove”, a politically charged jazz‑funk instrumental credited to Paul Weller and Mick Talbot, originally recorded for the Café Bleu sessions. The track became a defining statement of the band’s blend of modern soul, jazz, funk, and left‑leaning social commentary, distinct from Weller’s earlier work with The Jam.

This EP is notable for its club‑friendly 45 RPM format and strong visual presentation, featuring sharply styled black‑and‑white sleeve photography consistent with the band’s sophisticated European aesthetic.
