"Pop Art Poem" by The Jam

[@genki2genki]

I dug up my old copy the other day. I would've bought anything by the Jam back then.

'It's good innit?'

[@busterbluesun]

yeah!!! i still got the flexidisc!!! quite possibly the magazine as well...good times!!!

[@warrenburroughs3025]

Had it for years, I think I lost during a house move. I loved the boys about town on the flip side.

[@davidellis5141]

Had this on Flexi disc!!

[@JohnnyFriendly]

shame this never appeared on sound affects - i can really see it fitting in nicely on there (somewhere on side 2)

[@mukkaspec3333]

Me too.

[@MrS0AC]

I always used an old B.Manilow 45 to support the yellow flexidisc to prevent the stylus from jumping . . .

Great video too!

[@zakcapriturbo]

@scotsburd63 That's an interesting question. It was 1980 (I made a mistake and put '81 on the end of the video) and I think he had been listening to a lot of later period Beatles and some of the contemporary new wave bands at the time. Maybe he was interested in being a little bit more experimental? "Sound Affects" is quite avant-garde when compared to earlier Jam albums I suppose. Whatever, it is a great song and thanks for tuning in!

I have a blue Flexi-disc of this. I can't remember what magazine it came with way back when.

[@Tuning_Spork]

I have this flexidisc, and I'm 99% positive I got it in an issue of Trouser Press.

[@busterbluesun]

...but mine is yellow...and has boy about town on it as well.

[@zakcapriturbo]

@cle63 Mine is yellow and b/w "Boy About Town" and it was from Flexipop magazine. I have heard that the fan club also did one but I've never seen any evidence to back that up. The only fan club one I've got is "Tales From The Riverbank"

[@zakcapriturbo]

@scotsburd63 It's a pleasure to reaquaint you with it! You can get it on the 'Extras' CD or 'Sound Affects' special edition CD - both quite cheap on Amazon.co.uk I think

[@zakcapriturbo]

@Holdenon3 You could be right but Flexipop definitely did have one on their cover. This link takes you to their archive... flexipop.com/covers01.html
