A 30th anniversary, super deluxe (3CD/1DVD) edition of The Jam’s “The Gift” will be released in November featuring the original album, 13 previously unreleased demos and alternate takes, a 23-track live concert from December 1982, and a compilation DVD of live footage and TV appearances.

There will also be a two-CD stripped-down deluxe version of “The Gift”.

“The Gift” was The Jam’s sixth and final studio album and their only album to top the UK album chart. The album was somewhat of a departure from the band’s previous mark, with an attempt to broaden their sound and embrace more soul elements.

The super deluxe set will also include a 72-page hardback book featuring new interviews with Paul Weller and producer Peter Wilson, photos, fan memorabilia and magazine cuttings.
