(The Jam - Going Underground/Dreams Of Children/That's Entertainment Live)

themusicologist regulars will know that along with Curtis Mayfield this Cat, Paul Weller, has exerted major influence on my thoughts, from first exposure in 1977 as a fresh faced nine year old right up to the present day. 'Words' have meaning as far as I'm concerned and his rank up there with the best I have ever had the pleasure of listening to and learning from.

Today's cut is from his Jam days. A three cut selection recorded live at the Glasgow Apollo in 1982. Taken from the LP 'Dig The New Breed'.

Watch the ride......

LISTEN

quick's the word and sharp's the action on today's post..Busy, Busy, Busy at the moment and time waits for no man so I'm dropping this piece of '82 'shun on you without further ado. BIG tune on the floor and in the clubs back then and is still very much sought after. 12" on the BC label. Produced and mixed by Began Cekic for, (Al Hudson's?), One Way productions.
