1977 Box set to spotlight early Jam

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Jam's first two LPs, In The City and This Is The Modern World, UMe/Polydor will release 1977, a five-disc box set featuring both albums re-mastered as well as unreleased demos and live recordings on Oct. 20.

The collection includes a 144-page book, new liner notes, period photos and a wealth of cuttings, reviews and memorabilia from 1977. Five LP-style CD wallets with printed inner bags – In The City will feature the U.S. version of the LP inner sleeve, also using a Martyn Goddard out-take photo. This Is The Modern World will feature an alternative Gered Mankowitz cover image. It also includes five postcards. All are housed in a ‘rigid, lift-off lid’ box.
