"Start!" is the eleventh UK single release by the band the Jam and their second number-one, following "Going Underground"/"Dreams of Children".[1] Upon its release on 15 August 1980, it debuted at number three, and two weeks later reached number one for one week.[2] Written by Paul Weller and produced by Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and the Jam, "Start!" was the lead single from the band's fifth album Sound Affects. The single's B-side is "Liza Radley".
"Start!" is based on both the main guitar riff and bass riff of the Beatles' 1966 song "Taxman" from the album Revolver, written by George Harrison.[3] Likewise, The Jam's "Dreams of Children" had featured the same "Taxman" bassline, played then as a lead guitar riff.
The album version of the song runs at 2:30 and features trumpets in the final section. The single version, also featured on the Snap! compilation, is edited and slightly remixed, and omits the trumpets.[citation needed]
