Reviews & Opinions

SOUNDS, SEPTEMBER 1977: It wouldn't be constructive to suggest that Manchester's answer to The Damned have rewritten Arthur Lee's 'Seven & Seven Is' with 'Bone Idol'. Why not? 'Cos this 'Bone Idol' is pretty good in its own right. 'Just Wanna Be Myself' has more of a mid tempo Bowie flavour to it....

MOJO, 100 PUNK SCORCHERS, OCTOBER 2003 [here]

Additional Notes

Both songs are different versions to the ones on Further Temptations. Many thanks to Paul L. Walsh for the tape images.
