Setting Sons — 1979

The Jam

Released 1979Punk & New Wave
Classic

A semi-conceptual peak of sharp English songcraft. Tuneful and acclaimed. A high point. Worth exploring once you've heard the obvious entry points.

On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
