Description
The Jam: A Story of Passion and Integrity The Jam's rise to fame was swift and unexpected. Initially dismissed as uncool suburbanites, Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton, and Rick Buckler went on to achieve unparalleled success, taking social protest and cultural authenticity to the top of the charts with 18 hits, including timeless classics like In the City and Going Underground. Behind their iconic music lay a complex story of private recrimination and duplicity. The group's vaunted values were contrasted by internal conflicts, leading to a split at the end of 1982 that was hailed as a testament to their integrity. Sean Egan's biography offers a definitive look at the band's history, drawing on access to recording producers, music label staff, and all three members of the Jam. With unparalleled insight into the era and ardent fanaticism surrounding The Jam, this book provides a nuanced commentary on the music and its makers.
