@cle63 Mine is yellow and b/w "Boy About Town" and it was from Flexipop magazine. I have heard that the fan club also did one but I've never seen any evidence to back that up. The only fan club one I've got is "Tales From The Riverbank"
@scotsburd63 That's an interesting question. It was 1980 (I made a mistake and put '81 on the end of the video) and I think he had been listening to a lot of later period Beatles and some of the contemporary new wave bands at the time. Maybe he was interested in being a little bit more experimental? "Sound Affects" is quite avant-garde when compared to earlier Jam albums I suppose.
Whatever, it is a great song and thanks for tuning in!
@scotsburd63 It's a pleasure to reaquaint you with it! You can get it on the 'Extras' CD or 'Sound Affects' special edition CD - both quite cheap on Amazon.co.uk I think
@zakcapriturbo Thanks very much for the info, zakcapriturbo! It's funny this tune just sorta slipped into my head after 30 years ... was really amazed/pleasantly surprised to find it on here. It also served to remind me just how bloody good it was! Think I appreciate it even better now. It's pretty far out from the regular Paul Weller/Jam stuff isn't it? Don't want to get too deep but wonder what was going on in his head at the time?
I had this when I was a kid and used to play it all the time! I wasn't sure if I would be able to find it anymore so Thanks Very Much for posting! STRANGE but GOOD!!!
...but mine is yellow...and has boy about town on it as well.

I have a blue Flexi-disc of this. I can't remember what magazine it came with way back when.
