Notes: The
Jam simply exploded with this one. Everything just seemed right
about it. There was thoughtful lyricism, tight instrumentals and
that 80's punk/power pop charisma all working in concert. Working
class ethos from the lads of Woking presented for the young man
on the street (see the inside sleeve for a bit of mod fashion sense).
Always able to make that Rickenbacker sound work in his favor Weller's
writing was maturing rapidly at this point. "That's Entertainment",
covered by the like of Morrissey no less, casual observations from
a window at night is turned into a story we've seen or been a part
of at one time or another. The cover is a take off of a series
of sound effect records produced by the BBC. Click
here for an example. All in all a classic record that still
plays well today.
