A sister-label to Dick James Music's 'DJM' label, Jam was intended to act as the 'Pop' outlet of the company, with DJM itself being reserved for the more contemporary and progressive releases. It ran side by side with DJM from early 1972 until the end of 1973. At that point it was shelved, and artists whose records had previously come out on Jam found themselves on DJM. Jam only entered the Singles Chart twice, on both occasions with Rock band Blackfoot Sue; 'Standing In The Road' (JAM-13) was the bigger of the two hits, getting to No.4 in 1972. 'Witch Hunt' by Frog (JAM-39) is collectable. Jam's singles came in a rather attractive company sleeve. Pressing and distribution were by Pye, as they were for DJM at that time.
