Reviews & Opinions
CLIFF WHITE, SMASH HITS 19TH APRIL 19 - 2ND MAY, 1979: Strange title for a record that is distinctly less fiery than previous Spex efforts. Furthermore: strange record! Poly Styrene makes an effort to sing more conventionally than usual in the midst of a fuzzy production involving riffing saxes and at least one synthesizer. Dunno exactly why but I've a feeling it's one of those deceptive tracks that creeps up on you when your back is turned. Initially it's the flip, 'Warrior In Woolworths', that is most appealing - mainly because the story if everyday suburban folk is stronger than the topside lyric.
Additional Notes
Red or black vinyl. The A-Side is new, but the B-side is from
