Solid Bond In Your Heart: A People's History Of The Jam

Solid Bond In Your Heart is an oral history of The Jam. They exploded onto the British music scene in 1977 with the single 'In The City' in 1977 and departed just six years later in 1982. More than 300 fans recall The Jam in action at over 100 different concerts in Malcolm Wyatt's account of Woking's finest, the latest title in the 'people's history' series of music books from Spenwood Books, retelling the story of iconic bands in the words of fans. Breaking through as part of the British punk scene and topping both the UK singles and album charts four times, The Jam's commercial success then is matched by the affection in which the band are still held now. Mourned by some who think Paul Weller's decision to break up the band in 1982 was rash, and celebrated by those who think that decision was courageous, The Jam remain musical heroes for thousands of British music fans. This is their story.
