The Jam were in their tenth anniversary year as a band when the double-A side 'Town Called Malice'/'Precious' hit the top of the charts in early February 1982.
Just eight months later frontman Paul Weller would surprise the music world - and his own bandmates - by disbanding the band.
'Town Called Malice'/'Precious' was the Jam's third UK number one, after 'Going Underground' and 'Start!', both released in 1980. It was their only American chart entry of any note, reaching 31 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and 45 on Billboard Dance Club Songs. In Ireland the single peaked at number 2, held off the top by Welshman Shakin' Stevens' tune 'Oh Julie'.
