Reviews & Opinions

RED STARR, SMASH HITS, DECEMBER 10 1981: Any points gained by some unexpectedly good lyrics on this fifty minute live recording are immediately lost by the crude non-music (a one-paced, monotonous rat-a-tat that gets to be like Chinese water torture) or by the vocals (either an irritating know-it-all or a lobotomised roar). They preach sermons to the converted while the people they want to reach won't go go near this desperately unattractive package. Can't say I blame them either.
