4th single release by The Style Council released after the ep Introducing.... Still, only Mick Talbot and Paul Weller are credited as The Style Council with Zeke Manyika (on drums), Chris Hunter (on saxophone) are credited as 'hon councillors'. Somehow this single wasn't including on the '84 full-length studio debut. The style is a fine uptempo combo of jazz pop and pop soul, and it would have fitted very nicely on the album released four months later.
