The Jam Going Underground Ltd. Ed. London Print
Addicted To London’s Sounds from the Streets is a series of limited edition prints giving a big up to bands that made the square mile their home. The Beatles, The Jam and The Clash are bands that addressed the London experience, certainly in the case of the latter two. The Beatles are not so much known for writing about the city as much as creating one of its most famous landmarks. Just google abbey road to see the endless pages of imitators blocking traffic to recreate the album cover.
The Going Underground print uses the title of The Jam’s first #1 single. Which is kinda perfect right? And when you think of songs like In The City, A Town Called Malice and Down In A Tube Station At Midnight, it’s kind of like Mr. Weller spent a career writing songs for this moment. At least that’s what you can tell your wife when she complains about how much you spent.
Only 150 prints have been produced for each band, which come numbered and signed by the artist Youngerman. You can find The Jam Going Underground print along with The Beatles and The Clash editions at Addicted to London.
