The Jam / Snap! 2LP with 7″ single
The Jam‘s classic compilation Snap! is being reissued as a double vinyl edition which comes complete with the bonus 7″ single given away with first editions back in 1983.
This was the group’s first greatest hits and was released just after Paul Weller‘s decision to break up the band at the height of their fame. It’s a 29-track collection, in chronological order and features hit singles such as ‘Down In The Tube Station At Midnight,’ ‘Strange Town,’ ‘When You’re Young,’ ‘Going Underground,’ ‘That’s Entertainment,’ ‘Start!,’ ‘Town Called Malice ,’ and ‘The Eton Rifles’ and many more.
This comes in a gatefold sleeve and has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios. This release also replicates the very original with a ‘free’ seven-inch single given away with early editions of Snap! This four-track ‘Live! EP’ was recorded live at Wembley Arena on 2 and 3 December 1982. The 2LP+7″ set comes with a download card.
