My personal favorite Jam album is the CD version of Setting Sons that includes all of the non-album singles (a&b) released at that time
Yeah, their best era. They fired out some great b-sides over their career.
The live set from Newcastle 1980 from the Fire & Skill set is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard. Heavy on the Setting Sons/Sound Affects albums. They were hitting on all cylinders during that era.
Yep amazing. The footage from the gig is brutal how good they were.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

This board being this board, this round's conversation has been dominated by the album/band just eliminated. Collectively, we could never survive a job interview. :disshame:

The best Jam album is still Greatest Hits and that's fine.
I have a compilation of Jam's greatest hits, supposedly chosen by Weller himself, and...I skip every other song. :disshame:

I'd like to think there would be something there for you. This is a nice little challenge, I'll get something together.

I'm sorry, but the engagement is off. I want my ex-wife's ring back.
