The Jam: 25years old?
sean by Sean Adams May 2nd, 2002
You know that wrinkley mod-bloke with the funny whispy hair Paul Weller? Well, he used to be in this mod band called The Jam - who inspired the likes of Ocean Colour Scene and Oasis - and 25 years a-frigging-go, back in 1977 (what a year that must of been!) they released a single, their debut, 'In The City'. The single was re-released on Monday, it's only available on 7" and priced as it was at the time, at 75p.

The single preceeds another 'Best of the Jam' compilation which is out on May 6th with the following tracks..
