SECRET AFFAIR-MY WORLD PROMO VIDEO 1980

This rare Secret Affair footage was shot on film (rather than video) and is a real gem.Directed by Steve Barron 1980the video was filmed on location on Primrose Hill and other London landmarks.Steve Barron also directed the first promo video Time For Action.
The line up in 1980 featured Ian Page on vocals and trumpet,Dave Cairns guitar and backing vocals,Dennis Smith Bass and backing vocals,Seb Shelton on drums and Dave Winthrop on sax.
My World was the follow up single from the Behind Closed Doors album released Feb 21st in 1980.Penned by Dave Cairns this beautifully produced single remains to many the ultimate Secret Affair track and placed the band in the charts yet again-reaching number 16 in the charts on March 8th and remained in the charts for 9 weeks.The artwork featured a map of the world in the centre of the disc and for a time you could buy the My World badges with the same logo.Taken from the second album it was the track that featured during the World Tour of 1980.
Secret Affair are performing in Whelans Dublin March 6th 2009 and May 30th Camden Centre Kings Cross.See you there!

Glory Boys the album was fricking stellar. Blindingly brilliant it has been on my playlist since 1979! behind Closed Doors killed the band awful apart from a couple of good singles, piss poor production as well. The last album should have been the second.

@iktomi5 Yes, the Jam were into the Kinks as well, but Weller seems to style himself a lot on Steve Marriott from the Small Faces,even in his solo post Style Council era with the image and the 'plastic white soul' stuff. I don't like the solo music of Paul Weller and I liked the Jam best until 1980.For me their crowning glory is the '79 album 'Setting Sons' which has great songs & a heavy and chunky sound ; less pop-ish than 'All Mod Cons' (1978) and not as psychadelic as 'Sound Affects' (1980)

@TheKenfig the Jam weren't real mods though in my mind. played geat Mod music but secret affair Merton Parks, the Who, Lambrettas you know the dance fella. great sound but did they doMods may day narr. Don't get me wrong I've jam tunes on me play list can't go wrong Paul weller and Bruce who was broken heartd when Paul broke em up to form the bad poor Style council. Money bug had got to the Modfather. Having it be well dude. Mods rule!!!! back in the day lol
