Last one for now. Cleaning my mod revival collection (in case you didn’t realise) and this is one of my all time favourites. Mick Talbot’s first band. Just fantastic tunes for the era. We loved it. #MertonParkas #vinyl #ModRevival #xp

In the City is the debut studio album by the English band the Jam. Released in May 1977 by Polydor Records...
Upon its release, In the City received all-round positive reviews. Phil McNeil from the NME said that Paul Weller's songwriting "captures that entire teen frustration vibe with the melodic grace and dynamic aplomb of early Kinks and Who". Brian Harrigan of Melody Maker was equally impressed, remarking that Weller's songs "are anything but an embarrassment" and that "he has a deft touch that places his material on a much higher plateau". In Record Mirror, Barry Cain opined: "Armed and extremely dangerous The Jam stalk the decrepit grooves... if you don't like them hard luck coz they're gonna be around for a long time... It's been a long time since albums actually reflected pre-20 delusions"... - Wikipedia

The Lambrettas - Beat Boys In The Jet Age
The Lambrettas were actually discovered, if that’s the right word, by the relatively new Rocket Record Company. Elton John’s label formed in 1973. The story is that they sent flyers around and leaflet dropped asking bands to call the studio number, 499 2139, and put an advertisement in Melody Maker hoping to attract new talent...

🇬🇧 The Manish Boys/Davy Jones & The Lower 3rd – 1982 (recordings from 1965) - 10"
Raw and brimming with mod energy, this early glimpse of David Bowie (as Davy Jones) captures the sound of mid-60s British R&B and beat music in full swing. Gritty vocals, sharp suits, and swinging London vibes. Bowie’s roots on full display.

RIP Rick Buckler: the glue that held The Jam together.
One heck of a drummer.

The Jam - Town Called Malice
The Jam – Snap!
I have such a weird relationship with The Jam. Considering when they were big – right in my late teen years – I really should have been very, very into them. But, they had almost no presence in the US at that time. More thoughts:
