Originally released in 1983, Snap! was the first greatest hits anthology from The Jam and appeared just after Paul Weller took the shock decision to split up the band at the height of their popularity and success. Comprising twenty-nine-tracks, with chronological sequencing, this double album clearly illustrates The Jam’s brief but stunning story, from explosive debut on the embryonic English punk scene and their meteoric rise to become one of the greatest and best-loved British bands. From their thrilling debut single, In the City, to their farewell, Beat Surrender, the collection features sixteen iconic singles, including four No. 1s. Included are iconic cuts such as Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, Strange Town, When You’re Young, Going Underground, That’s Entertainment, Start!, Town Called Malice, The Eton Rifles and many more. Also featured are remarkable B-side tracks such as The Butterfly Collector and Tales from the Riverbank. Also included is a four-track EP, entitled Live!, recorded at Wembley Arena on 2 and 3 December 1982. Featuring audio remastered at Abbey Road Studios, this release is presented in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves. A download card for all tracks is included.
