When You're Young (The Jam song)

"When You're Young" was the eighth single released by the Jam. The single was released on 17 August 1979, and charted at number 17 in the UK Singles Chart[1] on 8 September.[2] The B-Side of this single, "Smithers-Jones", is a guitar-based recording of this song, as opposed to the all-strings arrangement composed at the suggestion of the band's drummer, Rick Buckler. This orchestral version of the single's B-side is included upon their fourth album, Setting Sons.[3]
