Far from the best but it cuts a nice little tune and the guitar noodling at the end is spunky.

Girl On the Phone is one of the Jam's poorer efforts for me, to open the album with it was a bit bizarre.

Love the Kim Carnes song.

I agree "Girl On the Phone" B-side material. I too love the melody in the Kim Carnes tune.

Love the Kim Carnes song.
One of my favourites on the album, always loved GOTP. The chorus is epic musically, Weller and Foxton yet again truly complimenting each other.

Bette Davis Eyes also is fantastically good, tune lovely and atmospheric.

Lyrically not up to the standard of the rest of the album.

I still like Girl On the Phone, it's just not as good as the rest of that great album, maybe aside from the cover of Heatwave.

I like Heatwave but no way that belongs on the album. Should've been a B-side. Smithers Jones shouldve been swapped album version for B-side version.

Nope I agree, though still doesn't take away a great tune for me personally. Then again I am a philistine!

Would easily be their best album if the proper version of SJ was on there.

Edit: Already is my favourite album, meant to say would easily be a perfect album.

It's not bad at all far from it. But around this time The Jam set high standards.

Agreed and agreed. Would be a very short album though with the removal of Heatwave. The addition of When You're Young would put it into classsic territory, and fits thematically with the album. Though I know they had a VFM thing going on at the time, with singles being kept off albums.
