I don't think I'd ever heard his version of the song before your post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2018 I don’t think I’d consider a song a true b-side if it also appears on a proper studio album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Which is where many of the Beatles ones score. They didn't even put the A-sides on albums as a rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 hmmm, single B sides, I'm gonna claim that 'move on up' cover by the Jam on the flip of Beat Surrender is the absolute all time best absolute stone cold science law fact it's not better than the original, it's very different, it's angry white kids discovering soul and realising the best band in the world is calling it a day because 5 years ago they said they'd jack it in at the top strange thing is, since the Jam, I'm really not bothered one way or the other by Weller, the Jam was bigger than the sum of its parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday and Saturday nights were fight nights. The past is a foreign country and all that. As I say, it was The Jam, not Weller. Just like the old british lions '99' shout, we had a club rule of fighting if the song Eton Rifles was played. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Always remember this concert being live on tv. I recorded it, and used to play it day after day after day. They opened with this song. What a concert. Edited January 26, 2018 by Rugeley Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun. many a time we'd roll up at a pub in our biker gang of 8 or 9 (the oldest dude had a Bonneville 750) and if there were scooters outside I'd draw big cocks on them with my trusty permanent marker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
