Greatest Hits is the third best collection of The Jam, released by Polydor in 1991. It features 18 hit singles from the group, as well as the excellent number "Precious" (2nd A-side of the single "Town Called Malice"), reflecting the results of Paul Weller's funk experiments.

Info
A companion compilation to the museum exhibit About the Young Idea that ran at the Somerset House in the summer of 2015, this double-disc set covers familiar territory: all the hits and all the album tracks that regularly show up on Jam collections through the years. This has a couple of rarities –- a radio ad for "In the City," the flexi-disc release "Pop Art Poem," demos of "The Burning Sky" and "Takin' My Love" (the latter previously unreleased) -- but they're buried underneath the march from "In the City" to "Beat Surrender," a journey that's enjoyable whenever it's taken, but most Jam fans will have a similar voyage somewhere in their collection.
