"That's Entertainment" features on the band's fifth studio album, Sound Affects, which was released in Nov. 1980. While the song was never officially released as a single in the U.K. or the U.S., the beloved track still managed to reach No. 21 on the Official Singles Chart after fans had imported thousands of non-U.K. pressings from Germany. This accomplishment made it one of the best-selling imported singles in U.K. chart history.
Although some songs take a while to perfect, front man Paul Weller proved that this isn't always the case — penning the hit in just an impressively short amount of time.
The acoustic track was a departure from The Jam's signature punk-mod sound. Bassist Bruce Foxton recalled the moment when Weller played him the song for the first time.
While The Jam disbanded in 1982, Foxton carries on the band's legacy with From The Jam, where he often performs some of his former band's best tunes. Of course, this includes "That's Entertainment," which has been played hundreds of times across recent U.K. and international tours.
