Reviews & Opinions

CLIFF WHITE, SMASH HITS, MAY 31 - JUNE 13, 1979: Staying in my imaginary club I gently lower the stylus at the beginning of 'Masquerade' and EEAAHHRRRGGG!!! Cor, I think I've just been blitzkrieged. Why are some records so much louder than others? That's what I want to know. Especially when the loudest one of the bunch starts off with what sounds like a battle between a monster pile-driving machine and a couple of angry chainsaws. All very virile stuff this, packaged as two singles in a folder sleeve.

Additional Notes

'Masquerade' later appeared on the remixed version of Days In Europa LP. 'Out Of Town' was subsequently re-recorded for The Absolute Game.
