Start!

"Start!" is the eleventh UK single release by punk rock band, The Jam and their second number-one, following "Going Underground"/"Dreams of Children". Upon its release on 15 August 1980, it debuted at number three, and two weeks later reached number one for one week. Written by Paul Weller and produced by Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and The Jam, "Start!" was the lead single from the band's fifth album Sound Affects. The single's B-side is "Liza Radley".

"Start!" is based on both the main guitar riff and bass riff of The Beatles' 1966 song "Taxman" from the album Revolver, written by George Harrison. Likewise, The Jam's "Dreams of Children" had featured the same "Taxman" bassline, played then as a lead guitar riff.

The album version of the song runs at 2:30 and features trumpets in the final section. The single version, also featured on the "Snap!" compilation, is edited and slightly remixed, and omits the trumpets.

Other versions and sampling

Beastie Boys covered the song, which appears on their 1999 single, "Alive".

Start (Soviet camera)

Start (Russian: Старт, transliterated Cmapm) was a 35 mm single lens reflex Soviet camera produced by Mechanical Factory of Krasnogorsk (KMZ) during the years of 1958–1964. The camera was inspired by Exakta camera. Start had Bayonet-mount lenses with Exakta-style shutter release arm, KMZ Helios-44 58 mm f/2 normal lens, cloth focal-panel shutter.

An improved version, Start-2, was produced ca. 1963–1964. It had automatic diaphragm and meteric prism.

Start (newspaper)

Start was a short-lived daily tabloid published in Belgrade between late 2005 and early 2006.

After the commercial failure of his Ekipa sports daily, Radisav Rodić, owner of Kurir and Glas javnosti dailies, decided to give Start a try in late 2005. The first issue hit the stands on November 1, 2005.

Resembling Kurir in many ways, many wondered about the commercial reasoning behind a launch of yet another tabloid (admittedly, a little less sensationalist) in the highly saturated Serbian daily newspaper media market.

Edited by Milka Ljubičić, in addition to running the usual political, culturual, life, and social sections, Start tried to compete by offering expanded sports coverage, something that most Serbian tabloids don't do. However, it couldn't keep up and the January 24, 2006 issue turned out to be its last.

Start (album)

Start (traditional Chinese: 自選集; simplified Chinese: 自选集) is Singaporean Mandopop artist Stefanie Sun's (Chinese: 孫燕姿) first Mandarin and English studio cover album. It was released on 1 February 2002 by Warner Music Taiwan. The album is a collection of 12 of Sun's and her fans' favourite songs.
