RICK BUCKLER R.I.P.

Rick Buckler, born on December 6, 1955, in Woking, Surrey, England, was best known as the drummer for the iconic rock band The Jam. Formed in 1972, The Jam quickly rose to fame with their mod revival sound, and Buckler's energetic drumming was a key element of their success. The band released five albums and 17 singles, including four UK number-one hits like "Town Called Malice" and "Going Underground."

Despite the band's breakup in 1982, Buckler continued to be involved in music, forming new bands like Time UK and The Gift, which played The Jam's back catalogue. He also ventured into furniture design and restoration, and authored a biography titled "That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam" in 2015.

Rick Buckler passed away on February 17, 2025, at the age of 69, leaving behind a legacy of influential music and a lasting impact on the rock and punk genres. (B)

Direction Reaction Creation is the ultimate Jam package, offering 117 tracks over five discs -- essentially the band's complete studio recordings. With a strict adherence to chronological order, the box presents each single followed by its B-side(s) (six of which appear on CD for the first time, including the brilliant "See Saw"), followed by the proper album tracks -- oddly, though, the album versions of the singles are chosen in most places. Unfortunately, this approach sometimes disrupts the flow of the albums, especially in the case of All Mod Cons, which loses three tracks to the treatment, and Setting Sons, which loses "Eton Rifles" to a separate disc. This is a small point for purists to debate -- the difference is really unnoticeable in light of the truly great music found on the discs. In addition to the regular studio tracks, disc five offers over an hour of studio demos -- 22 previously unreleased tracks of considerably different takes of better-known material, a few never-before-heard Weller and Foxton originals, and some interesting covers like "Rain," "Dead End Street," and "Every Little Bit Hurts." A lavish 88-page booklet accompanies the set with great liner notes, an extensive band chronology and discography, and the band's complete gig list, along with plenty of rare photos and memorabilia. The Jam, simply put, were one the finest bands in rock & roll history, and Direction Reaction Creation offers the proof, showing both their remarkably rapid growth and their incredible consistency.
