This Is The Modern World

Very smart clean vinyl housed in a nice crisp cover.

This Is the Modern World is the second studio album by British band The Jam, released in November 1977, less than seven months after their debut. The front cover photography was by Gered Mankowitz.

  13. The US release had a different track order, included the "censored" single version of "The Modern World", and added the single "All Around the World" which was released in the UK between their first two albums. "All Around the World" had been their biggest UK hit to date, peaking at No. 13, a placement they would not match until 1979 when "The Eton Rifles" peaked at No. 3.[3] Thereafter, no domestically released single by The Jam would ever reach a peak position lower than No. 4.[3]

The only single from the album was the censored version of "The Modern World", peaking at No. 36 in the UK Singles Chart.[3]
