Single LP sleeves with printed inner bags.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most popular bands to emerge from the English punk rock scene of 1977; The Jam had a phenomenal impact on pop music and wider youth culture. In their short career, along with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Buzzcocks, they influenced a generation with their music, style, politics and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking creative direction from a wide sphere of influences – The Who, Dr Feelgood, The Kinks and Motown to name a few, they achieved 18 consecutive Top 40 singles in the UK (including 4 number 1s) - they had a fanatical following, their singles entering straight in the top 10, or number 1 in some cases. Their gigs sold out within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill beloved of original fans and new supporters through Paul Weller’s solo career – he still plays many of the Jam songs in his live sets today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased at the end of 1979, Setting Sons reached number four in the U.K. and for many fans and critics it defines the classic ‘Jam sound’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was initially conceived as a ‘concept’ album, with a distinct link between key songs - Thick As Thieves, Wasteland, Burning Sky: this idea may have seemed strange to the band’s hardcore fans, but had a precedent with some of Weller’s 60s heroes, notably The Kinks, Small Faces and The Who. Setting Sons took The Jam’s musical template and added a narrative depth and compositional daring which would take their art to a totally new level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anti-war song Little Boy Soldiers, constructed in three parts, illustrates how the band were moving into a more experimental and ambitious style, whilst retaining the muscular edge for which they were so famous. The album includes the hit single - The Eton Rifles (one of David Cameron’s favourite songs!), Bruce Foxton’s tour-de-force Smithers-Jones and live favourite, the storming version of the Motown classic Heat Wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
