Great tune. Think I was falling out of love a bit with The Jam around this period as I was discovering other new stuff. I did give my head a wobble and still bought the single though.

Great tune. Bought the single when it was released. No wonder I couldn’t buy everything. So mush brilliant music released day after day in this period. Here’s my original copy.

What an absolute classic. Bought the 12” version, but somehow missed out on the original sleeve design.

Great album. For some reason (lack of cash most likely) I didn’t buy it back then. Picked up a copy a few months ago.

What a great album that is too. Saw them supporting Iggy Pop in February 1980 and bought the album when it came out. Love it.

You are absolutely correct in your assessment. Wonderful compilation.

Hud on, just remembered I saw ABC there last year with a full orchestra and they were fabulous. What a horrendous memory I have, honestly.

That could be it.

It’s the only time I’ve been there. I thought it was supposed to be a β€˜purpose built’ venue ? Strange.

Missed this alert yesterday, but the reminder from Concert Archives tells me that six years ago yesterday I was at Clyde Auditorium (Armadillo) to see Elvis Costello & the Imposters. Great gig but the sound could have been better.

It certainly is. I don’t play it nearly enough.

Aye, very true. Probably change my mind when I hear another one next time, TBF.

Another absolute classic. Not many better runs of singles than The Jam put together over that period. Here’s my copy of the single.

Outstanding tune. This was one of the first records I bought after my β€˜awakening’ to the Punk/new wave music scene at that time. Here’s my original copy.

Love it. Maybe even my favourite Slade tune ? Still have my original copy I bought when I was 10.

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that 16 years ago tonight I was at the Forum in Aberdeen to see The Stranglers. Always a pleasure never a chore.

Stunning tune. That intro invites you to reach for the volume button to crank it up. Here’s my original copy of the single. Probably in my top ten ever.
