Now playing: The Jam’s ‘Setting Sons’, 1979. One of the best albums, by anyone, ever. Original pressing. Near mint.

So very sad to hear about #RickBuckler passing

Deep in thought listening to a playback at #townhousestudios while recording #settingsons 30.8.1979

The Pistols taught me about anger, but The Jam taught me about the politics that gave birth to that anger.

Thank you Paul, Bruce and Rick.

@graceemiya.bsky.social these days I find I can’t be bothered. To argue with them, what’s the point. #SettingSons #TheJam

And there amongst the shit, the dirty linen, the holy coca-cola tins, the punctured footballs, the ragged dolls, the rusting bicycles, we’ll sit and probably hold hands. #SettingSons #TheJam

Alone at 6 o’clock, you drop a cup, you see it smash, you can’t go on, but you sweep it up. #SettingSons #TheJam

Alone at six o’clock, you drop a cup, you see it smash. Inside you crack. You can’t go on, but you sweep it up. #ABCFridays #TheJam #SettingSons

Here we go again. #SettingSons #TheJam

The Jam were too good & too important & by 1979 the mod revival was in full swing, thanks in no small part to The Jam themselves. There's a high quality of the social observation in the Setting Sons songwriting & Weller was in top form.

The first record I ever truly loved. Not the first album I bought, nor the best … not even by The Jam. But you never forget your first love, right? It has stayed with me for 45 years. Never lets me down.
We’ll always be as thick as thieves.
