Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #1, JULY 1982: The new release by the UK version of the PLASMATICS may contain the best song ever written ("Alternative"), with its snappy hook-laden chorus, raw power, and perhaps strangest of all - intelligent lyrics. Unfortunately, the flip exemplifies their usual mediocre standards.

Additional Notes

Alternative listed (incorrectly) as Alternatives on label. A remixed version of this song was also featured on Troops Of Tomorrow.
