THE JAM

ALL MOD CONS STEREO LP

1978 UK 1st PRESS POLD 5008

LIMITED EDITION

ULTRA RARE COLLECTORS ITEM

The Jam regrouped and refocused for All Mod Cons, an album that marked a great leap in songwriting maturity and sense of purpose. For the first time Paul Weller built rather than fell back, upon his influences, carving a distinct voice all his own; he employed a story-style narrative with invented characters and vivid British imagery à la Ray Davies to make incisive social commentary -- all in a musically irresistible package. The youthful perspective and impassioned delivery on All Mod Cons first earned Weller the "voice of a generation" tag, and it certainly captures a moment in time, but really, the feelings and sentiments expressed on the album just as easily speak to any future generation of young people. Terms like "classic" are often bandied about, but in the case of All Mod Cons, it is certainly deserved    Vinyl is in as near as MINT!!! condition... With jet black mirror like surfaces that have that just pressed look!!!Has jus possibly one tiny feint hairline visible , only when held under a strong halogen lamp!!

Labels are in MINT!!! condition. With absolutley NO spindle lines visible whatsoever!!!  This would indicate that this LP is possibly in unplayed condition!!!

Picture lyric inner is in as near as  MINT!!!  condition but has only the smallest 5mm split to the bottom edge. you wont find a better inner

Sleeve is in EXCELLENT++ condition with just some very mild feathering to the opening edges and some storage wear to the edges and corners. The spine is perfectly straight and clearly legible  ...see pictures
