The Jam - Extras: A Collection Of Rarities

Artist:

Jam (The)

Description:

A collection of B-sides, alternate or demo versions, and previously unreleased songs.
Producers: Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, Peter Wilson, The Jam, Tony Taverner.
Recorded between 1978 and 1992. Includes liner notes by Paolo Hewitt.
Pity the oft-neglected B-side. Often just a throwaway track designed to back up but not supersede a band`s "official" new release, by the time the single is filed away alphabetically, it`s usually forgotten by even the most zealous collector. Unless of course the B-side is by seminal English mod revivalists The Jam, in which case a closer listen is not only warranted, but required. For The Jam packed their B-side songs with more fire and brimstone than most bands did the A-sides.
Unfortunately the vinyl days of yore are but a memory. Fortunately, EXTRAS collects most of the Jam`s odds and sods on disc for fans young and old. A bonus is Paul Weller`s always-eclectic taste in covers, which runs from the Who ("So Sad About Us") to the Beatles ("And Your Bird Can Sing") to the godfather of soul himself , Mr. James Brown ("I Got You [I Feel Good]"). EXTRAS is valuable not only as a chronology of the gems that Weller was tossing off in his spare time, but as a look at how truly eclectic the Jam were as a band.
