From the Jam featuring former The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton, legendary vocalist & guitarist Russell Hastings and drummer Mike Randon, are celebrating 35 years since the release of The Gift, The Jam’s sixth and final album with a special series of shows, in which they will be playing a selection of songs from ‘The Gift’
Released in 1982 on Polydor, The Gift was one of The Jam’s most successful albums, reaching No 1 in the UK album chart. Produced by Peter Wilson, the album contains one of the band’s most well-known hits, ‘Town Called Malice’.
To celebrate 10 years since From The Jam’s genesis, Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings have announced they will be releasing a live album, featuring songs performed at various venues across the UK.
‘From The Jam Live!’ has been an album a long time coming. Over the past 10 years From The Jam have toured relentlessly, having played almost 200 headline shows in the UK since their inception in 2007. Throughout this time, they’ve gained a reputation for the kind of incendiary live performances that sealed the reputation of The Jam all those years ago, being described as “incredibly exciting” by the Daily Mirror and “sounding dynamic as ever” by the Daily Record.
Having these incredible performances captured on ‘From The Jam Live!’ makes this album an exciting and necessary addition to Foxton and Hastings’ discography.
