With a foreword by Jam drummer Rick Buckler, The Jam - The Day I Was There tells the story of The Jam in the words of over 400 fans. With memories from the earliest shows at clubs and pubs around Woking and London, and then their UK and American tours before their last ever gig in Brighton on 11 December 1982. Told from the perspective of fans, promoters, studio engineers, photographers and support acts, the book includes personal photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and stories that have never been published before. Between 1977 and their split in 1982, The Jam released six albums and 18 singles, including four UK numbers 1s. They were the biggest band in Britain.
