All Around the World (The Jam song)

The single was backed by the B-side, "Carnaby Street," and was released between the debut album, In the City, and the band's second album, This Is the Modern World.

The song is often erroneously thought to be featured in 'Abigail's Party', coming from the party held next door by the unseen titular character. In fact, the song is question is called 'Natch' by a session band called Midas Touch, featured on the library music LP 'Heavy Group Activity / Light Group Activity' (1974).

The song was also featured in A Year in Yellow, a documentary aired on Sky Atlantic, about British cyclist Bradley Wiggins attempts to win the 2012 Tour de France. Wiggins, who is a self-confessed fan of The Jam, can be heard listening to it in his hotel room in the days leading up to the Tour.
