Absolute Beginners on London Live

What a classic movie, just playing a Paul Weller classic, Have you ever had it blue.

43 years ago today, a banging A side and an awesome B side.....still have mine with the paper lyric sheet. Great days.

I much preferred the B side to this, also was never a fan of Start!

Never thought the film was that good. The Colin MacInnes book that it was based on was essential reading for any genuine ‘mod’ though.
The film did have some great songs on the soundtrack, though, especially the already referenced Have You Ever Had It Blue by The Style Council.

Same tune, different (better) lyrics

Never thought the book was much, either. But I liked the Bowie track.
