The Jam - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: Wembley Arena, London, Britain, 12-3-1982

Here's the seventh and last volume of the Jam playing for the BBC. I believe this is the seventh the last concert the band ever did. As such, it's an extra long concert the ably sums up their six year career.

The sound quality is generally excellent, as you'd expect for a BBC recording. However, there were issues in some places for a few of the songs. In two cases, it was a volume issue with bassist Bruce Foxton's vocal microphone being too low in the mix. So I used the X-Minus audio editing program to boost the vocals for those spots. In one more instance, the band let the audience sing a bit, and the audience was too low, so I made the same kind of fix. Those three songs have "[Edit]" in their names.

Otherwise, there's not much to say. If you want to get just one of these Jam BBC concerts, I suggest this one. They went out with a bang while still in their prime.

This concert is an hour and 42 minutes long.

With the Jam done, in the near future I'll turn to Paul Weller's successor band, the Style Council, and what they played for the BBC.
