Sound Affects is the fifth album by British rock band The Jam. The cover art is a pastiche of the artwork used on various Sound Effects records produced by the BBC during the 1970s. Musical influences noted include post-punk groups such as Wire, Gang Of Four, and Joy Division and, particularly evident in Rick Buckler's drumming, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album. Frontman Paul Weller said at the time that he considered the album a cross between Off the Wall and Revolver.

  • Sound Affects is the fifth album by British rock band The Jam. The cover art is a pastiche of the artwork used on various Sound Effects records produced by the BBC during the 1970s. Musical influences noted include post-punk groups such as Wire, Gang Of Four, and Joy Division and, particularly evident in Rick Buckler's drumming, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album. Frontman Paul Weller said at the time that he considered the album a cross between Off the Wall and Revolver. Weller considers it to be The Jam's best work. The album features the group's second UK number one single, "Start!", built around exact copies of the bassline and guitar solos from The Beatles' "Taxman", the lead cut on Revolver. Polydor pushed for "Pretty Green" to be the first single released, but Weller insisted on "Start!". "Pretty Green" includes a funk bassline and rhythm with melodic guitar breaks and psychedelic sound effects. "That's Entertainment" is an acoustic ballad. "Boy About Town" and "Dream Time" include horns.
  • Sound Affects è il quinto album in studio del gruppo inglese dei The Jam, pubblicato nel 1980 dalla Polydor. Questo album ospita il secondo singolo piazzatosi al primo posto delle classifiche inglesi, Start!, pezzo con un giro di basso ispirato a Taxman dei Beatles (pezzo presente nell'album Revolver). Oltre a Start!, l'album presenta anche uno dei pezzi più noti del gruppo, la ballata acustica That's Enternainment, canzone presente anche nella lista delle 500 migliori canzoni secondo Rolling Stone alla posizione 306. Dopo l'approccio sonoro più "duro" presentato nel precedente Setting Sons, Sound Affects segna un ritorno alle atmosfere pop-oriented di All Mod Cons, anche se con un suono ben diverso da tale disco.
  • Sound affects är ett album av The Jam utgivet 28 november 1980. Många kallar denna skiva för gruppens Revolver. Sant är att influenserna från tidig psykedelia är påfallande. Låten "Start" utgår till exempel från exakt samma basgång som Beatleslåten "Taxman". Strax innan denna LP utgavs hade The Jam fått sin första listetta med "Going Underground" (som ej är med här) och detta bidrog säkerligen också till de stora framgångarna för denna LP samt ytterligare en listetta med singelreleasen av "Start".
