Originally released in 1983, Snap! was the first ‘greatest hits’ collection 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.
The title Snap! originates from the production, the A&R team, and the band in the studio listening back to recording sessions and deciding if the track had the necessary distinctive Jam ‘snap’ sound to make the cut. The original 29-track album with chronological sequencing clearly illustrates their brief but stunning story, from explosive debut on the embryonic English punk scene to their meteoric rise to become one of the greatest and best-loved British bands.
Remastered at Abbey Road, Snap! is available on vinyl for the first time in many years!
