Reviews & Opinions

CLIFF WHITE, SMASH HITS, MARCH 8-21 1979: Also inspired by a book (wot a lot of swots these pop chaps are). This time is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Couldn't stand it at first but there's something deviously hypnotic about Buzzcock's [sic] discordant rock. Now I sing along to the chorus.
