Reviews & Opinions

FRED DELLAR, SMASH HITS, JUNE 1981: A winner despite Siouxsie's arch vocals, now all part of the rent-an-actress scene foisted on a gullible public, brain-numbed by TV commercials and memories of "Rock Follies". Compensation comes in the form of an enthralling 12-string gallop that encompasses high hurdles and water-jumps, keeping listeners on the edge of their shooting sticks till the post is reached. Sorta spellbound, in fact!
