"Back of My Hand" is a power pop song by The Jags, written by Nick Watkinson and guitarist John Alder which entered the UK Singles Chart on 8 September 1979.
In its original version, the song was produced by Jon Astley and Phil Chapman.
This version appears on the initial Jags release, a 4-track 12" EP entitled 4-Track 12" E.P.
The hit single version uses the same basic recording as version 1, but was remixed by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes[5] and features additional synths and keyboard parts.
