The Jags on Get It Together playing Woman's World, iPad

We recorded this version in about 2 hours in a studio at Granada in Manchester for the UK children's programme Get It Together. So superior to our original version, Nick put in an inspired vocal performance, and I still love Roy North's "The fabulous Jags...thanks fellas". We should've changed our name there and then. Happy days.

Thanks, fella. I saw teo Jags roadies last week - you know the ones (JH & RR) - and will pass this on.

My pleasure.

Is that NB?

P.S. I don't think they'll really appreciate it, but what do I know.

Brilliant clip, brilliant band. They just don't make 'em like this any more. Maybe I'm getting old even though I'm still under 40(:-)), but bands don't have this any more. Very few that I've seen anyway. Even if you take newer New Wave bands like Franz Ferdinand or Kaiser Chiefs.....they're good but they're just not THIS good.

Youtube gold! The Jags were the soundtrack to my high school years. I spent many hours watching that Island Records logo spin around. Great stuff.

That is great! Love the vibe.

Slight overtones of "The Zounds" in their punkier moments. Great vocals, great band.

Roy North's haircut!!!!! It is still as bad as I remembered. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant - it was this clip that got me into the Jags actually - thought this song was actually better than Back of my hand - still do!

The Wizard of Oz moment when things change from black and white to glorious technicolor is rather nicely timed!

Although Get It Together had a crap format and Shit presenters ,some of the Bands featured were very good indeed !
