The record

Title: The Jam – This Is The Modern World
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1977, Rock, Mod Revival / Punk Rock, Woking, England
Matrix #: PD-1-6129
Condition: NM

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Rushed out months after their debut—recorded fast while they were still on the road, with the band already feeling the pressure of “prove it again.”

  2. Media Narrative: The Jam’s sharp suits and UK flag imagery got read as politics by strangers; they kept insisting it was about class and daily life, not slogans.

  3. Personal Struggle: Paul Weller later described the grind of nonstop touring and expectation as suffocating; he ended The Jam at 24 to escape that machine.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
