Reviews & Opinions
CLIFF WHITE, SMASH HITS, AUGUST 1979: No need to go into detail, it's bound to be a hit by the time you read this, If it isn't No 1 on the charts within, oh, let's say six weeks...if it isn't topping everything by then I will personally frog-march each and every one of you to the nearest looney bin. And lop off your ears. While you grin and boogie to the brilliance of the topside, don't ignore the flip. 'Common As Muck' it is, and very good with it.Additional Notes

Chaz Jankel - guitars, keyboards
John Turnbull - guitars
Davey Payne - saxes
Norman Watt-Roy - bass
Charley Charles - drums
