During the late seventies and early eighties The Jam were the biggest band in Britain with an unforgettable string of hit singles. This is the long awaited critical review of The Jam which draws upon rare footage of the band, previously unavailable on DVD, live at the Reading Festival, in performance in Germany and from British TV appearances from 'Top of the Pops' and 'The Tube', to produce the first comprehensive, independent critical review of the work of this iconic band.
