Thanks again to the ever-vigilant Mark Colley for spotting The Jam Setting Sons Live at the Brighton Centre 1979 limited edition vinyl on pre-order. But don’t worry if you don’t invest in vinyl, it will be appearing in other formats as part of a Settings Sons box set.

More on that later. For now, let’s look at what we do know. Universal is releasing this limited edition 20-track double LP via its own site – the only place you can get it from. It’s essentially a gig at the Brighton Centre in December 1979, which has been remastered for the occasion. The full tracklisting is below.

But that looks like only half the story.

According to the pre-release listings on Amazon, there are limited edition sets of the Setting Sons album due out around the same time. First up, there is a four-disc CD and DVD box set and a two-disc Deluxe Edition up for pre-order. The second of those is £14.99, but the first is a hefty £96.99, suggested a substantial box set offering.

The box set is detailed in full at the end of this article.

If you want the vinyl, you can pre-order it now for 10th November release for £21.99.
