The Jam To Reissue Final Studio Album ‘The Gift’ For 30th Anniversary

The Jam will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their final studio album "The Gift" with an expansive reissue.

The legendary band's only UK number one album was a clear sign of the new directions being explored by frontman Paul Weller by the early Eighties; a desire for change which would see him ultimately quit the band and form The Style Council soon after its release in 1982.

"I was very proud of it – I thought it was another advance on what we'd done before," Weller has said of the LP.

The reissue will be out on November 19th, and is to be available in a variety of different formats which will be packed with added extras and bonus features.

Amongst these is a four-disc boxset which will coPopcomplete with a 'Live At Wembley 1982' CD as well as a compilation DVD of live performances and a Top Of The Pops appearance. A CD of alternate tracks and demos, many of them previously unreleased, is also included.

Primal Scream Complete Work On New Album

Primal Scream have revealed that they have completed their yet-untitled new album and will release it early next year.

In a recent interview, singer, Bobby Gillespie said: "It's a rock'n'roll record, but modern rock'n'roll. Pretty psychedelic rock, it's kind of guitar-driven but we use guitars in an orchestral way, not in the normal way people make rock records. I think we do it in a more interesting way. We weave the guitars in with electronics and other acoustic instruments to make the core sound." 

"This record is really sophisticated in terms of the production, the instruments we've used and the arrangements. The songwriting has got better! Live we're a guitar rock'n'roll band but when we make records... it would boring if we just made guitar records, we've got our own way of doing things. It's Primal Scream music." He added.

The new album will marked the band's first new full-length since 2008's Beautiful Future.
