Following a short stint recording demos with Jake Burns and Dolphin Taylor, previously of Irish punk outfit Stiff Little Fingers, Foxton released his debut single "Freak" on Arista Records. Entering the UK Singles Chart at No. 34 on 30 July 1983, it eventually peaked at No. 23 [42] and secured an appearance on Top of the Pops. Foxton's solo album Touch Sensitive followed in 1984, but subsequent singles "This Is The Way", "It Makes Me Wonder" and "SOS: My Imagination" failed to enter the Top 40. A final single "Play This Game To Win" was released on Harvest Records in November 1986.

Beat Surrender" was previewed live on the first episode of The Tube, on 5 November 1982. [8] Musicians [ edit ] Warning: very sterile topic, article suitable only for Jam maniacs, for those who after 40 years still cry over the first notes of “Beat Surrender”. The excuse is that today I found again the cover proofs in an decent size (unfortunately not defined enough to print in 12 “, so don’t even think about it 🙂 ) and also because you will not find this subject in any book dedicated to The Jam (me thinks) or in music mags. Although it would be worthy of appearing on Record Collector, as a curio.

Retrieved 19 March 2023.The artwork looks genuine and the catalogues numbers are real, so I think this album was scheduled for release in the USA. However, as well as Paul, Polydor UK would have objected to this release. When Paul went solo, The Jam owed Polydor two albums, which is why ‘Dig The New Breed’ and ‘Snap!’ were released. ‘Snap!’ was a best of / greatest hits compilation and this American compilation would have compromised the release of ‘Snap!’ in the USA. How they got hold of a copy of ‘Solid Bond’ is a mystery, as it was never mastered and I wouldn’t have allowed them to release it. Paul had made it clear at the time that he was saving the toon for TSC. As The Jam were signed to Polydor UK, and all foreign compilations would have needed clearance from my company, which they would never have given for the above reasons.

U2's Bono and the Edge perform in Ukraine subway station". The Guardian. Reuters. 8 May 2022 . Retrieved 23 June 2022. Work on Songs of Surrender began in earnest in early 2021. [11] For the re-recordings, the band members decided that they did not need to remain faithful to the original versions of the songs; the Edge said, "We gave ourselves permission to disregard any sense of reverence for the originals." [9] The Edge began with a rough outline for each song by choosing the key and tempo, before he composed musical ideas on acoustic guitar and piano, [14] and improvised vocals that he would later play for Bono. Since the two share a similar vocal range, [11] the Edge believed that they would be able to determine the viability of a vocal idea once Bono attempted it. [14] The Edge conscientiously shifted songs into lower keys to better tailor them to Bono's vocal range, saying his goal was to "serve the song by serving the singer". [12]
