The Jam - Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler - were the
ultimate 'angry young men' of pop. Leading the Mod Revival of the
1970s in thrilling new directions, their tight live shows,
razor-sharp style and perfectly crafted songs earned them a devoted
following and a string of number one hits. By 1982 The Jam were
bigger than ever, but the pressure of success was taking its toll.
At the peak of their powers, Paul Weller made the shock decision
that was far from welcomed by the rest of the group, let alone the
fans: The Jam were to split up and go their separate ways. This
richly illustrated and revealing oral history of their final year,
led principally by the voice of drummer Rick Buckler, contains a
number of previously unseen images and untold stories, taking us
from the recording and release of their final studio album, The
Gift, to The Jam's last appearances together. In addition to
Buckler's memories of the time, The Jam 1982 also brings together
testimonies from Gary Crowley, producer Peter Wilson, A&R
manager Dennis Munday, photographer Neil ‘Twink’ Tinning, Eddie
Piller, Paolo Hewitt, Mat Osman, Belle Stars singer Jennie Matthias
(‘The Bitterest Pill’), touring musicians Jamie Telford and
Steve Nichol and others, to tell the tale of a single, fateful
year: the year The Jam, for better or worse, went out at the very
top of their game.
