The Jam were an English punk rock band formed in Woking, Surrey in 1972. Comprising of Paul Weller on vocals and guitar, Bruce Foxton on bass guitar, and Rick Buckler on drums, they achieved widespread popularity during the late 1970s and early 1980s with their catchy tunes and socially conscious lyrics.
Known for their energetic live performances and distinctive mod style, The Jam became one of the most influential bands of the British punk movement. Their music blended elements of punk, new wave, and mod revival to create a unique sound that resonated with audiences across the UK.
With hits like "Town Called Malice," "Going Underground," and "That's Entertainment," The Jam left a lasting impact on the music industry. Despite disbanding in 1982 after just six years together, their legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians today.

Whether you're seeking iconic hits or discovering lesser-known treasures, UMC (now known as Universal Music Recordings) ensures that the power of music remains accessible to all who appreciate its magic.

Sound Affects is the fifth Jam album and was first released in 1980. Weller's poetic and sarcastic wit combine with edgy but poppy tunes to really make this the jam's standout album. There isn't a bad song on the album, and at least 3 songs ("Pretty Green", "That's Entertainment", and "Man In The Corner Shop") rank among the best they've ever done. It's a top-notch album that deserves a lot more notoriety than it receives.&nbsp;
