The Jam released their debut single, 'In The City', in May 1977. At that time, no-one was happy in Britain, particularly not in Ian Stone's house. He was fourteen and his days consisted of going to school, watching Arsenal play terrible football and listening to his parents' marriage disintegrating. Outside, the country was divided - by racism, violence, inner-city riots, police corruption, unemployment and terrorism. But late one evening in 1978, Ian's eyes and ears were opened to an entirely new world. The Jam walked onstage at London's Music Machine to a huge roar, and launched into ninety blistering minutes of some of the best pop tunes ever written. It was easily the most exciting moment of his life. This book presents a freewheeling account of the five years Ian spent in the grip of obsession.
