Beat Surrender was The Jam's final single released on 26 November 1982.
It became the band's fourth #1 UK single for two weeks in November and December 1982 and was backed by three B-sides - "Shopping", a cover of The Chi-Lites "Stoned Out Of My Mind", and a cover of Curtis Mayfield's classic "Move On Up". The song hinted at the more soul-based style to come with Paul Weller's next band, The Style Council.
It was not included on any of the band's six studio albums.
