Reviews & Opinions

PETE SILVERTON, SMASH HITS, SEPTEMBER 1981: Harder and more powerful than anything from Mr. Dury since 'Rhythm Stick'. whether you - or more to the point, Radio One deejays - can stomach the cripple-conscious lyrics is another matter. Personally, my flesh crawls each time I hear him shout "I, Spasticus", And it hurts so good. The best, the bravest thing to come out of the Year Of The Disabled.

Additional Notes

The 7-inch A-Side is an edited version of the track from Lord Upminster. The 12" version is the same one from the LP.
