Details



Author Macainsh said, "Blue Jeans is more of what you'd call social comment. We used to do it when we first started. Ross Wilson has always tried to get it recorded, but we've never been real keen on the idea til we got stuck for a song on this album. We wanted a couple of laidback tunes to round it off rather than have an album of ravers and up stuff. So we tried it and it came out well."

Being an older song, Wilson's Doo Dah Music owned the publishing. Singer Shirley Strachan accused producer Wilson of wanting the song included for his own profit, asking him, "So why do you get so much money? You're not even in the band."
