Reviews & Opinions
TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #1, JULY 1982: A-side is B.F.'s most commercial song, and features current drummer Emil. B side's 'I've Got To Run' and 'My Rules', sound more like the LP, with fill-in drummer Bill. Production is even cleaner though. Bring back Robo!
PUNKY GIBBON: The band's best known song, different to the LP version, backed with two exclusive cuts. 'TV Party' is simply superb, a Dictators-esque sarc-fest with typically wild guitar work and funny, hoarse vocals.
