Reviews & Opinions

FRED DELLAR, SMASH HITS, NOVEMBER 1981: What with our Ian falling for the attractions of Polly Dorr, I guess it was to be expected that his ex-playmates would come up with a hits'n'bits compilation in time for a Christmas cash-in. But while the ethics of such a release can be questioned, there's no denying that the quality of the music here provides a multitude of reasons to be cheerful. A unique chapter in British rock, brought to you in a telly-approved, conveniently handy size. (9 out of 10)
