Reviews & Opinions

PETE SILVERTON, SMASH HITS, SEPTEMBER 1981: The latest in a long line to use the services of Jamaican rhythm maestros, Sly and Robbie, and never was a European more suited to their tropical bass and drum heat. Mr. Dury shouts, whimpers, cries and screams over boiling rumbles and thumps. He "sings" with authority and his usual demonic possession. Maybe most important of all, he sounds like he's really enjoying himself for the first time in a long while. Purchasers should feel likewise. (8 out of 10).
