Having some scoops tonight with All Mod Cons on in the background, it works well, just remember to skip David Watts and Billy Hunt.
Yeah. David Watts is better by the Kinks and there is a better alternate version of Billy Hunt that was on the Direction, Reaction, Creation box set.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Still not a fan of that version, overall it feels like a track they felt they had to churn out. They could have done better.

Agreed, pretty average in comparison the the rest of the album. Every Jam album had a dud or two though.

The first 2 albums especially I'd agree but Setting Sons is perfect.

I don't really like Girl On the Phone. Even worse that it's the opener. Also, Heatwave sounds tacked on. They never made a perfect album imo.

Girl On The Phone is in my top 10 Jam songs 100%, slightly agree with Heatwave though. They should have left covers alone.

Not quite top ten, but I love the power pop drive of Girl on the Phone.

Heatwave was tacked on. Weller was writing a concept album but ran out of songs / time so scrapped the idea. Heatwave was added to make up numbers.
