The Jam – The Gift

I’m still sad that The Jam split up.

It’s been 23 years, since this, The Jam’s final album, came out. It’s full of signposts pointing at the exit Weller was heading towards. And whilst some of his subsequent work has been good (a lot has been shite, to be fair), I can’t help thinking that there isn’t a solitary tune in his oeuvre that wouldn’t have sounded better recorded by The Fucking Jam.

Steve Nichol, who played trumpet on this album was later one of Loose Ends, trivia fans.
