The Jam – All Mod Cons

Going through all my old records with a new turntable. This stands out as a well mastered record. Lots of low end to ground the rhythm section. Dynamic with a defined soundstage. A US pressing to boot. I have to thank young me for keeping this record in great shape for all these decades.

For me, The Jam at their best with this studio albums

By the time they performed this album on their UK tour in 1978, The Jam had become a fully-fledged rock band. This album marked a turning point. The production quality far sures that of their two earlier albums.

Great sound on my copy, very pleased! Happy to have some Jam in my collection at long last courtesy of Bucket O’ Blood Records.

I am surprised how good this sounds. Very punchy and clear. I have not heard a UK which is said to be better. If so it might be a case of simply not knowing how good that one sounds having the master tapes. But, the combination of Sterling mastering and Monarch pressing is usually a good combo and is in this case even if working off a copy tape. If the UK cost is prohibitive with shipping then this might be a good alternative.

great sounding pressing good and punchy good mids and highs

Probably as close to a perfect album as you can get. Banging.

A five star mod masterpiece. Nothing more needs to be said.

need matrix runout for this release, it is uniques == because of the the fact that butterflycollection replaces Billy Hunt for the first time.

Does anyone else have one of these with "The Butterfly Collector" listed on the back of the jacket instead of "Billy Hunt?" Everything else matches here, including runouts, etc. and it says 1979, which made me think it's a reissue, but "Billy Hunt" is on this version and like I said earlier, everything else matches up to this U.S. original. I bought this used in the 2000s, so it's possible whoever had it before me somehow got a reissue jacket.
