On Top on the Pops-74

Mike Leander flipped over the tapes and set up a deal for the band. "The music is very English and there are obvious influences from Sparks and Roxy. But it''s not deliberate, and Sparks music grew from the same era. It''s funny because Martin was at school when I made ''America'' with the Nice and his whole class bought the single. The music does have those tendencies that are a part of Roxy and it''s a part of us, and if you go back, were a part of Velvet Underground. I remember meeting Andy Warhol in New York during that period and it was really exciting. Everybody had so much energy and a lot of that has been lost. I''d like to think with Jet we''ll create a new hip and fashionable audience. But it''s early yet."
