B-side of the Week: Take That's '84'

We've got a busy week of new releases coming up and there's more than one worthy contender for our B-side of the Week title. To make the most of the situation, we're sneakily going to squeeze in two - starting with a very special exclusive from Take That's new single 'Up All Night'.

Since making their comeback in 2006, Take That have been fairly unstoppable, scoring the fastest-selling UK tour in history and the fastest-selling album of the millennium. Gary Barlow and Mark Owen tend to take centre-stage on their singles, but a listen to their new B-side might lead to calls for Jason to grab the mic a bit more often.

Taking lead vocals on the ska-infused verses, Jason recalls his first sexual experience - "heaven knows it was like a heart attack" - with a pretty girl with flowers in her hair. Fast-forward 24 years and Jason informs us he's single, living in London and there are "10,000 troops out fighting in Iraq". He also lets us know he's on the lookout for someone special to bring him a nice cuppa in the morning - any takers?
