Notes
Packaged as a hard bound book with lyrics to all the tracks, artwork and pictures for all the original releases and the Excerpts From "The Jam: A Beat Concerto" which were part of the original LP packaging.
"Funeral Pyre" was remixed in August 1983 as nobody was completely happy with the original mix. It was decided to use the demo version of "That's Entertainment" on this collection. Although technically not as good as the later version recorded for Sound Affects, the demo has a certain quality that was never captured again.
Disc 3 Recorded live at Wembley Arena 2&3 December 1982
CDs 1 & 2 originally released as Snap!, Polydor SNAP1 (815 537-1), Oct 14, 1983.
CD 3 originally released as the Live! 7-inch EP, Polydor SNAPL 45 (815 608-7), issued with the first UK pressing of Snap!

If ordered direct from Hip-O Select this set came with three small pin badges featuring the Jam, all different.
It’s by far the best presentation of this compilation which, in itself, might be the best overview of the bands career. It should also be borne in mind that when Hip-O Select put this out, the U.K. edition was a shonky one disc bastardisation, omitting several tracks in order to fit it onto a single cd. Needless to say, the four EP tracks were nowhere to be seen (or heard).
