The fifth album from UK mod band the Jam was a stripped-back affair compared to their previous Setting Sons. In addition to Ray Davies, Pete Townshend and Steve Marriott, songwriter Paul Weller was also drawing on post-punk influences, producing a sound that was at times stark and sinewy. There’s classic after classic here: sensitive love songs like ‘Monday,’ the fizzing, Beatles-on-speed of ‘But I’m Different Now’, serene English musical sketch ‘Man In The Corner Shop,’ the exuberant ‘Boy About Town’ and one of Weller’s finest moments, ‘That’s Entertainment’.
