The 1979 album is remastered from the original analogue tapes and the first disc adds single edits & B-sides. Amongst the 22-tracks on CD 2 are 14 previously unreleased demos and alternates, along with 4 tracks from the 1979 John Peel session. CD 3 brings Live in Brighton 1979, a live performance that has never been previously issued.

The Jam‘s Setting Sons was originally planned as a concept album about three childhood friends who, upon meeting after some time apart, discover the different directions in which they’ve grown apart. Only about half of the songs ended up following the concept due to a rushed recording schedule, but where they do, Paul Weller vividly depicts British life, male relationships, and coming to terms with entry into adulthood. Weller’s observations of society are more pointed and pessimistic than ever, but at the same time, he’s employed stronger melodies with a slicker production and comparatively fuller arrangements, even using heavy orchestration for a reworked version of Bruce Foxton’s “Smithers-Jones.”

Setting Sons often reaches brilliance and stands among The Jam’s best albums, but the inclusion of a number of throwaways and knockoffs (especially the out-of-place cover of “Heat Wave” which closes the album) mars an otherwise perfect album.
