Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who of the following has never been a member of The Jam?

Answer: John Weller Sr.

While being very close to the band and always supportive and involved, Paul's father John was never a member of the band. Steve Brookes was a member of the first setting of the band, before they gained any recognition.
2. Which band name was on Paul Weller's button on the cover of 'This Is The Modern World'?

Answer: The Who

for trainspotters only...
3. Which of the following soul classics was never covered by The Jam?

Answer: 'Rapture' - Anita Baker

'Rapture' came out after The Jam broke up. It could've been a great cover, though!
4. Who produced the track 'Funeral Pyre'?

Answer: Pete Wilson

Wilson was a Polydor engineer, and took the production helm on 'The Gift'.
5. 'Funeral Pyre' was the first single to be released between 'Sound Affects' and 'The Gift'. What was on the B-side?

Answer: A cover of an obscure The Who song

The track was 'Disguises' from the 1966 Who EP 'Ready Steady Who'.
6. How long is the band's first album?

Answer: just over half-an-hour

'In The City' is short and brash, and perhaps one of the best albums from the late 70s.
7. What type of guitar is Paul Weller generally associated with?

Answer: Rickenbacker

Perhaps influenced by Pete Townshend, Weller used the Rickenbacker 330 and 360 models throughout The Jam's whole career.
8. 'Put on the kettle and make some tea' - which song does this come from?

Answer: 'Smithers-Jones'

Penned by the band's bass player, this may very well be The Jam's finest track not written by Weller.
9. Which of the following is not a Jam track?

Answer: 'Shout To The Top'

'Shout To The Top' is by the Style Council, the band Weller formed after The Jam. 'Absolute Beginners' has no connection to the Bowie track of the same name.
10. At which club does the story of 'A-bomb In Wardour Street' take place?

Answer: The Vortex

...a club of which Weller said was 'not his scene at all'.
