In the City – The Jam (Vinyl 12" LP)

Released in 1977, In the City is the explosive debut album from The Jam, capturing the raw energy and urgency of the British punk and mod revival scenes. Fronted by a young Paul Weller, the trio delivered sharp social commentary and aggressive riffs with a distinctly English sensibility. The album positioned The Jam as a fierce new voice in British rock, channelling the spirit of The Who with punk-era speed and attitude.

Key Highlights

- Features the classic title track "In the City", an anthem of youthful rebellion and urban grit
- Includes fast-paced cuts like "Art School", "Away from the Numbers", and "I Got By in Time"
- Blends punk aggression with 1960s mod and R&B influences
- Typically pressed on 180-gram vinyl, retaining the grit and drive of the original recordings
- Celebrated for Paul Weller’s incisive lyrics and Bruce Foxton’s propulsive basslines

Fun Fact

The title track “In the City” was inspired in part by The Who’s “In the City” B-side from 1966, a nod to the mod influences that helped shape The Jam’s sound.

Why You Should Buy This Vinyl

- Essential listening for fans of The Clash, The Who, and post-punk revivalists
- Vinyl format captures the band’s raw energy and garage-band grit

In the City is a bold and brash debut that announced The Jam as a force to be reckoned with. Its energy and edge are best experienced on vinyl, just as it was meant to be heard in 1977.
