This is the pre- Buggles-remix version, right? I prefer that. Initial UK copies (demos, and then the first stock copies) had this version, then they switched to a ‘slicker’ Buggles-remix. Shame!
I trust your judgement here Steve. I don´t know. But I sure like this a bit better then the UK version I have.
Sound a bit like Dire Straits! Good summer music. Enjoyable! :)
Ha ha Dire Straits? Please point me to a Dire Straits song that sounds like The Jags.
I said “A BIT”… ;)
Its the solo. It´s similar to Knopflers style.
Howdy would you mind letting me know which hotisng company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good internet hotisng provider at a fair price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
I heard there’s a dutch sleeve variation.
Heard that too but I don´t know if it´s true. It must be very rare.
Cheeseburger with cheese, great.
These guitar riffs are brilliant. Great production as well. Don’t even care the vocals sound just like Costello. Good stuff!
This is perfect. One of the best powerpops ever.
WWWWWOoooooaaahua…Looong time ago that I listen for the first time “back of my hand” around ’93…just GREAT SONG!
yeah the buggles single-mix sucks, the original & the lp mix are a whole lot better
the original mix is also on the 4-track ep 12 inches
Back of my hand is one of the most well crafted pop songs ever penned. The b side is a total killer as well. I belive the Jags were featured on the power pearls comp along with other records from this site like Transistors and New Math. Help me out peter am i wrong?
This is the quintessential new wave power pop song. The melody, the guitars, the production, all of it. Absolutely perfect.
Holy crap i clicked the link and actually thought this was Elvis Costello ha. WOW
Ha ha yeah it sounds VERY Costelloish :).
