AND IN THE END

Paul Weller had decided to split from the Jam at the end of 1982 as the pressures to produce 'Hit' after 'Hit' records became too much pressure wise and he had also felt that the band should go out 'on top' and not dilute the 'purity' of what six years of hard work had achieved.
As the songwriter with convictions, he had said all that he had wanted to say and now wished to write for pleasure developing new styles of music for him and his audience to enjoy.
The Jam's last record single 'Beat Surrender', like so many of the Jam's other singles, stormed straight to the top of the British charts, reaching the number one slot on the 4-12-1982.
