THE JAM "beat surrender-ep" 1982
The Jam's final single release prior to Paul Weller disbanding them...
single/ep shows where Weller's music direction was heading, from the soul of the title track, the jazzy-overtones of "shopping" thru soul classics covered on the second disc...Chi-Lites "stoned out of my mind", Edwyn Starr's "war" and Curtis Mayfield's "move on up"...
his Chi'Lites cover is better than the original IMO,as is their version of "move on up"
single failed to chart here, but it did give The Jam a third straight #1 hit in the UK, making them the only act in UK chart history to disband after their final three singles reached #1, also gave them their fourth #1 single(out of five #1's) to enter the charts out there at #1, which was a record for back then.
