"Precious " is a song composed by Paul Weller and performed by the British band The Jam .
Details [ edit ]
It appeared on The Jam's 1982 album, The Gift , and also as a double A-side single along with "Town Called Malice ". It reached number one in the UK Singles Chart ,[4] although the song received much less airplay than "Town Called Malice".[citation needed ] It was a departure for the band from their punk and mod roots, involving a funk -like sound that the band had not previously explored. Uncut described the track as "hypnotically itchy punk-funk ". Some fans and critics[who? ] have noticed the song contains a number of similarities to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag ", which was a relatively new release itself at the time.[citation needed ] Weller himself was to admit in 1998 he had used that song as part of the inspiration for "Precious".[1] [5]
