    Whilst it is a decent cover - you can't really be saying that it is better than Kate's original surely?!

    Woah ... I have every Jam original vinyl release plus a whols bunch of bootlegs....... TSC - Our Favourite Shop LP has defo stood the test of time, is much better than either In the city or Modern World LPs .... I'd rate it as good as the better Jam LPs for sure ... what TSC did not do very well was fashion - looked like a bunch of southern wooses for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
    BTW ...

    I'd never heard the original at the time, which turned out to be pretty good too :)
