Home / Punk & New Wave / Setting Sons
A semi-conceptual peak of sharp English songcraft. Tuneful and acclaimed. A high point. Released in 1979, it's a key entry in The Jam's run.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
