The jam was moving - Debbie Harry

'The Jam Was Moving' was the second and final single from Debbie Harry's debut solo album, 'Koo Koo'. After Debbie's debut solo single, 'Backfired' failed to become the big hit everyone expected, there was no video and little promotion for this single. Unsurprisingly, this second single flopped. In 1988 Debbie Harry and Chris Stein themselves remixed 'The Jam Was Moving' for inclusion on the Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation 'Once More into the Bleach'.

I bought this single because I was curious about the track. It is a nice track but I can see why it didn't appeal to the general public: it's a bit of a boring, repetitive song.

My collection: 7" single no. 3565
Found: La La Land, Den Haag, January 31, 2009
