Reviews & Opinions

MAUREEN RICE, SMASH HITS, JUNE 1985: Four of the best from Ian Dury remixed by the suddenly famous Paul Hardcastle, wearing his producer's hat. The records are chirpy and appealing, though in places Paul Hardcastle's technique of intercutting one record with another is in danger of making this record sound like 'Ian Dury And The Blockheads On 45'. Nice sleeve though.

Additional Notes

The labels state 1984 but this appears to have been released in May 1985.
