(1982)"Absolute Beginners" was a single released by The Jam on 24th October 1981. Although it did not appear on any of the band's studio albums, it reached #4 in the UK Singles chart. It was named after the Colin MacInnes novel of the same name, which Weller regarded as a highly influential novel.
"Tales From The Riverbank" appeared as the B-side. The band's record company Polydor later admitted that "Tales From The Riverbank" should have been released as the A-side.
