CD Description
'Snap' is a re-issue of the greatest hits album by one of the most influential bands of all time, The Jam. With their punky attitude and Kinsk-esque sound, The Jam enjoyed a long run of chart success in the late 70's and early 80's, and this hits album showcases all of their finest moments, from the sharp, punky blast of 'In The City' to the quiet introspection of 'That's Entertainment'. This expanded edition also includes various b-sides and demos.

Customer Reviews

If you only ever own one Jam album, make it this one
I originally had this as an LP back in 1983.
It was at the time the only album to feature the studio recordings of Strange Town, When you are young, All around the World, Bitterest Pill, News of the World, Beat Surrender, Funeral Pyre, Absolute Beginners and that all time classic Going Underground.
There have been since several 'Hits' and 'best of packages'even an edited version of SNAP! just including the singles, but this is the one to have.
The Jam were a great singles band, but hidden on LP's were some terrific tracks, Thick as Thieves, Man in the Corner Shop.
But some wonderful B sides Butterfly Collector, Smithers-Jones and the classic B side that should have been an A side Tales From the Riverbank.

If you only ever own one Jam album, make it this one.

All the essential stuff is here for under a Tenner.

enjoy.

The Perfect Introduction
Snap is perfect for a new generation to get into one of the greatest bands in history. From the coolest of covers to the well considered track listing, this was always one of the best 'greatest hits' (and beyond) albums. Cited as a major influence by Noel Gallagher no less.

Never Better Than This
This is the definitive Paul Weller product for me. The Jam were one of the finest bands ever and this just shows their worth perfectly.

In The City? Tubestation? Wardour Street? Nah, the finest moments on here are The Butterfly Collector and The Dreams of Children. Beautiful, Paul, beautiful.
