Description
THE JAM In The City (2023 UK/EU 12-track LP pressed on limited edition White Vinyl. The Jam’s debut album In The City arrived in 1977 as one of the defining opening statements of the mod revival, pairing punk-era urgency with sharp songwriting and a distinctly British edge. Alongside the title track and debut single In The City, the album includes early Jam staples including Art School, Away From The Numbers and Time For Truth, plus versions of Slow Down and the Batman Theme. Lean, direct and tightly played, it remains one of the key first albums of its period. Picture sleeve with original cover art photography by Martin Goddard, factory sealed. Essential)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
In the year of punk, The Jam exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. The raw, unfettered aggression of the band’s approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the Mod movement of the mid-’60s (early Who, Creation, etc.).
Singer / guitarist Paul Weller comes off like a cross between Joe Strummer and the young Pete Townshend, bashing unreservedly through Slow Down, one of the R&B tunes that inspired the original mods. Weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture (Non-stop Dancing, Away From the Numbers) over the raging three-chord attack of bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler. The pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky ‘arrangements,’ which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. Rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.
