All Mod Cons
All Mod Cons is the third studio album by the English band the Jam, released on 3 November 1978 by Polydor Records. The title, a British idiom one might find in housing advertisements, is short for "all modern conveniences" and is a pun on the band's association with the mod revival. The cover is a visual joke showing the band in a bare room. The album reached No. 6 in the UK Albums Chart.
The album was reissued in the United States in 1979, with the song "The Butterfly Collector" replacing "Billy Hunt".
In 2000, Q placed All Mod Cons at number 50 on its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". In 2013, NME ranked All Mod Cons at number 219 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album is listed in the reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
