The Jam - Sound Affects, Reissue Vinyl LP
One of the most popular bands to emerge from the English punk rock scene of 1977; The Jam had a phenomenal impact on pop music and wider youth culture. In their short career, along with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Buzzcocks, they influenced a generation with their music, style, politics and inspiration.
Sound Affects is The Jam's fifth album, first released in 1980. Weller's poetic and sarcastic wit combine with edgy but poppy tunes to make this album a stand out. There isn't a bad song, with at least 3 songs ("Pretty Green", "That's Entertainment", and "Man In The Corner Shop") among their best.
