DECEMBER '06 NEWS UPDATE OUT NOW! THE NEW 36 PAGE ALL MOD CONS SPECIAL
Featuring: Exclusive Paul Weller interview: "We were two songs short and I went away into a little room and wrote Private Hell, which I think is a great song but that was pretty workman like; just sitting there for two days hammering it out. Sometimes those moments can be just as great to be honest with you." Exclusive Rifles interview: "I wouldn't say that All Mod Cons is the best Jam album, I think Setting Sons is the best Jam album, as it's got stuff like Private Hell and The Eton Rifles on it, but what I like about All Mod Cons though, is that it has English Rose on it, which I love. That's what I liked about Weller's stuff with The Jam - he wasn't afraid to write stuff like that." Exclusive Rick Buckler interview: "Vic Smith convinced Paul that it was ok to use guitar overdubs: that there was nothing dishonest about it!" Exclusive Dennis Munday interview: "Rick and Bruce are often viewed as glorified session musicians, generally by the uninformed hangers on, and scribes wishing to suck up to Paul. Every fan is aware of the part they played in The Jam's history, and that's all that matters. " All Mod Cons feature with contributions from Dennis Munday, Simon Donald (Viz), Matteo Sedazzari, Brett Ascott (The Chords, Pope), David Lines (author of The Modfather, My Life with Paul Weller), Rich Mitchell (drummer with Dogs). Reviews: Catch-Flame! No Love Lost (The Rifles) Shout To The Top (Dennis Munday) As Is Now DVD Plus previously unpublished Jam and Paul Weller photographs. NOVEMBER '05 NEWS UPDATE OUT NOW!
