VARIOUS - BACK OF MY HAND (I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER) (2026)
Here's a special PPA collection featuring the three different versions of the famous power pop anthem plus 18 covers (some really good ones but also a few flaws) of the song.
1- The original 7" and 12" EP version was produced by Jon Astley and Phil Chapman.
2- The LP version uses the same recording as version 1, but Chris Blackwell schlepped in The Buggles who remixed the song with additional synths and keyboard parts. Nick Watkinson's opinion about the Buggles duo was "a waste of bloody time, they butchered everything we did. It was frightening"
3- The third version is a complete re-recording produced by Simon Humphries and The Jags and it was included on the compilation The Best of The Jags.
