Released at the end of 1979, Setting Sons reached number four in the U.K. and for many fans and critics it defines the classic 'Jam sound'.

It was initially conceived as a 'concept' album, with a distinct link between key songs - Thick As Thieves, Wasteland, Burning Sky: this idea may have seemed strange to the band's hardcore fans, but had a precedent with some of Weller's 60s heroes, notably The Kinks, Small Faces and The Who. Setting Sons took The Jam's musical template and added a narrative depth and compositional daring which would take their art to a totally new level.

The anti-war song Little Boy Soldiers, constructed in three parts, illustrates how the band were moving into a more experimental and ambitious style, whilst retaining the muscular edge for which they were so famous. The album includes the hit single - The Eton Rifles (one of David Cameron's favourite songs!), Bruce Foxton's tour-de-force Smithers-Jones and live favourite, the storming version of the Motown classic Heat Wave.

The '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.

Four discs, in individual wallets...

Disc 1 - The original album and singles/b-sides

  • The 1979 album remastered from the original analogue tapes

  • The Eton Rifles (alt. single version, UK no. 3), When You're Young (UK top 20) and Going Underground (UK No. 1), from early 1980 ' which marks the point from which the band's music style started to change.

    Disc 2 - The demos and extras
