My sister bought me this for my Birthday a few years back...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Direction-Re...e=UTF8&s=music

Everything they ever recorded plus a sh*tload of rarities.

One of my most played box sets & not a duff track on it.

A mate of mine has that. Everytime I see it, I promise to treat myself.
Don't they have a singles/b-sides cd out?
I'd settle for that in the meantime.

Yeah that would be Extras which came out about 10 years ago if I remember rightly.

Most of that album is on the box set, there`s basically only 5 songs not included on the box.

Pop Art Poem
No One In The World
And Your Bird Can Sing ... all off Extras

Other than those 3 there`s just the single versions of Start & Precious.

I`ve also got The Jam at the BBC album , 2 Cds of sessions & interveiws with a bonus live album of a gig for the BBC thrown in free.
Best 7 quid I ever spent

The material The Jam produced and put out as b-sides is enough to make most bands jealous. All time favourite b-side...Butterfly Collector.

Massive bump because I love these guys. Right-Track picked a good tune in "Down in the Tubestation at Midnight". Truly showcases Paul's superb songwriting. I'd definitely recommend The Jam to anyone.

My favorite record of theirs is The Modern World.

I think they're pretty awesome.

Though Weller has played with Oasis and there's absolutely no way to justify that.

Two reasons why The Jam are fucking great!:

Two more reasons. Both of them from This Is the Modern World, which is definitely one of their best though more underrated albums.
