Sound Affects is the fifth studio album by English rock band the Jam. The album was released on 28 November 1980 by Polydor Records. It is the only Jam album to be co-produced by the band themselves, and contains the only album track co-written by the entire band, "Music for the Last Couple".[1]

The cover art is a pastiche of the artwork used on various Sound Effects records produced by the BBC during the 1970s.
