Zowie! Count me in for this one. I love this album.

Yes! The first album I purchased from them and still one of my favorites. Weller at his lyrical best.

The pre-order listing is now live at Amazon UK:

I've heard some demo versions of songs from this period (Burning Sky and Saturday's Kids) and they're nothing special, just Weller on his guitar working out the words. It would be great if they included a live concert from this period.

The Gift reissue is one of my favorite things in my collection.

EXCELLENT NEWS!

And in honor of The Jam's finest hour, I update my avatar.

I was lucky enough to see them live at the University of Maryland at that time and they were intense!

Weller still has that fire now, even after all those years...

Well done lads....

Universal UK has now announced that there will also be a 4-disc Super Deluxe Edition. The pre-order link is in the first post, but hasn't gone live yet.

From Musictap.com

The Jam arrived (to our turntables) in the late ’70s. Their ability to craft excellent Pop/Rock tunes in a punk-like setting steadily gained them a loyal fan-base, first in the UK, then filtering to the US (although, I daresay that the UK appreciated them more). Eventually, the band would begin to incorporate a strong blend of soul, funk, and rock to create hits that were loved. But, as great things happen, the band would begin to splinter, breaking up in the very early ’80s before we had a chance to absorb them completely.

The Jam’s last album was The Gift. That album was released in 1982, the year they dissolved. It contained one of the band’s biggest hits, “Town Called Malice”. However, one of the band’s best selling albums was one released in 1979. That was called Setting Sons, the album that generated “The Eton Rifles”. And if you were a Jam fan, and Setting Sons was one of your favorites, then the following news is for you.
On November 17 (UK region, for now), Universal/Polydor will release a Super Deluxe Edition of Setting Sons with so many goodies, it might even overwhelm. The set will be a 3CD/DVD Box with an insane amount of album-related goodness (see track-list below). This newly remastered reissue will also offer a hard-bound book containing 72 pages. In those pages you will find a wealth of photos, credits, memorabilia, magazine pieces, notes, and period reviews of the album.

The new reissue will add in a set of four prints, a replica 1979 tour brochure, and a replica 1979 fan club magazine. The complete set will be housed in a sturdy and attractive casing, ready for slotting on the shelf.

Each CD (and the DVD) are placed in wallet sleeves. The first CD is the original album, remastered, along with eight non-LP singles and B-sides to complete it. The second CD will deliver demos and extras that include 18 demos and alternate tracks, 14 of them previously unreleased, all remastered. Extras include the 4-track 1979 John Peel Session. The third CD features Live In Brighton 1979, with 20 tracks, all remastered, from their December 1979 show. The lone DVD will offer greater value with five promo video clips, six Top of the Pops video performances, and two clips from the Something Else BBC show.

This remastered set will also be released as a 2CD set.

I’ll update for the US release date!

There won't be an American release date, except in the sense of it being listed as an import at Amazon USA.

Wow. This is impressive. I'm assuming that many of the demos are like the Weller-and-guitar songs released on "Extras" some years back--those always reminded me a bit of early Billy Bragg.

The first disk, with those additional songs appended, looks like one of the best albums of all time.

Another great must have reissue (Super Deluxe) that will continue deplete my financial accounts.

Online reviews of the 2-CD Deluxe Edition indicate that the second disc is NOT the same as Disc 2 of the Super Deluxe Edition.

Rather, it contains the "At The Rainbow" concert which was included as a bonus disc with the AT THE BBC set years ago.

Never put it past Paul Weller to want you to buy multiple versions of the same product
What he did with the Sonik Kicks bonus tracks was pretty blatant.

Now it looks like the same thing here. I bought the big box set......I'll get the 2 disc version if I ever run into more money.
