[ Universal Music / 4 CD/DVD ]
Release Date: Friday 28 November 2014
The Jam's 1979 masterpiece Setting Sons is being expanded and reissued as a Super Deluxe Edition which features unreleased demos and live tracks. Setting Sons was originally conceived as a concept album that was never fully developed about old friends reunited after many years to find they had nothing in common anymore. Brimming with brittle white knuckle rock music and muscular tracks boiling over with class hatred and spot on insights into British life, Setting Sons was arguably, the Jam's most thematically ambitious LP.
This 'Super-Deluxe box set traces the path of the classic album from initial demos, the two hit singles, 'Strange Town' and 'When You're Young', that preceded the album; alternate versions of songs, dynamic live performances, singles and b-sides, through to the point in early 1980 where the Jam's sound and success coalesced into 'Going Underground' - the band's first number 1 single, plus live material and DVD.
