Ah man, how good were The Jam here? Wired brilliance, and Running On the Spot is one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

Have to agree with Heston, The Jam were and still are one of my favorites. Nice find on the video, that guys YouTube channel has a lot of very rare Jam videos I've never seen. I'm going to be busy watching some of them tomorrow.
The Spil Op performance has been officially released in full on The Gift super deluxe box set. Great stuff!

I'd never seen this video before, you can see why Hollywood came knocking for Gondry, each new cut has an unexpected, inventive twist. The song's my absolute favourite thing Noel's ever done.

#1 single in UK, topped at #96 in the U.S. (1975)

Great track tep. The album before called "Psychomodo" is my fave Cockney Rebel. You can hear clearly that the young John Lydon was a fan. Lydon even stole the "Destroy" ending for "Anarchy in the U K." from that album.

While I'm here - this group's almost embarrassingly designed to appeal to me.

It is that.
Which is why it's the only Chemical Brothers song I've heard that really caught my ear.

I'm slightly annoyed I'd only heard it twice in my life. Chris Carter's British Invasion played it about 6 months ago and I meant to look it up but forgot. The 2nd time I remembered.

Well that reminds of the kinks! Vocally, at least

We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach

I get a kind of early Police vibe from this song, from 1979 or 80 from what I can tell. I really like it but know nothing about this band other than that they were apparently from Nottingham.

Local band made one single only as far as I can tell. Not bad is a little Police like.

Thanks, hadn't heard that before. Definitely agree about the Police vibe.

My fave Cockney Rebel track. Check it out tep. Sits somewhere between Roxy and Bowie.

Love this song from the excellent album "Surrender". I saw this great video on either VH1 or Rage when the album was released.
