Those moments in music when two of your favourite things come together yet the result leaves you feeling distraught and questioning your previous choices. In 1979, I had just started secondary school and was under peer pressure to choose between punk and disco. Thankfully, I heard “Going Underground” by The Jam on the radio and recognised the alternative to the previous false dichotomy. Mod Revival was my choice and I quickly fell in with like-minded friends. Late 80s, and a girlfriend buys me a Motown compilation album, based on her assertion that “Town Called Malice” has a Motown beat. A re-evaluation of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye ensues, but one of the standout tracks for me is “Heat Wave” by Martha & The Vandellas which quickly becomes my Motown song of choice. So, you’d think that The Jam performing Heat Wave would be magnificent. Well, ... Sadly not.
