This song first appeared officially when Extras was released in the early 90s, a mish-mash of B-sides, unreleased songs, demos, alternate versions and the previously unavailable. A Solid Bond In Your Heart was The Style Council's fourth single, and was apparently in the running for The Jam's last single, but instead Weller held it back for his new band and he went for Beat Surrender. This version is interesting enough, lacking The Style Council's slicker production and featuring Rick and Bruce's more rocky, less soulful skills. I really like this version, but I like The Style Council's too. Can we hear Weller's frustrations with the straight ahead rock sound of The Jam, and the rhythm sections lack of swing? Maybe I'm imagining it.
