Una exposición en Londres y el CD “About The Young Idea” celebran los cuarenta años de la primera gira de The Jam, a los que se suma “Fire & Skill”, una caja que reúne seis conciertos inéditos de la banda de Paul Weller, que Universal lanzará el 30 de octubre. Se incluye un libro de tapa dura con fotos y varios ensayos. Las grabaciones han sido masterizadas en los estudios Abbey Road.
El primer concierto es el del 11 de septiembre en el 100 Club de Londres, que fue grabado para su emisión por radio en Estados Unidos, como avanzadilla de la primera visita del grupo. Los otros son el del 2 de marzo en Music Machine, el del 16 de febrero de 1979 en la Universidad de Reading, el del 28 de octubre de 14 de diciembre de 1981 en el City Hall de Newcastle, el del Hammersmith Palais de Londres, y el del 2 de diciembre de 1982 en el Wembley Arena, una de las catorce fechas de la gira de despedia de The Jam.
