GARY'S GANG ON THE MARCH GARY NUMAN will do a major tour this autumn coinciding w ith release of a new album "The Pleasure Principle" on Sept 7. He's promising a real spectacular using a special stage, twin 20 foot towers for the keyboards, laser guns, and radio-controlled robots!

Gary's backing musicians will include most of those who appeared on TV with him as Tubeway Army but he's looking for another guitarist and synthesiser player to complete the group.

Gigs are: Glasgow Apollo (Sept 20); Newcastle City Hall (21 ); Bristol Colston Hall (24); Liverpool Empire (25); Manchester Apollo (26); Hammersmith Odeon (28); Birmingham Odeon (30); Guildford Civic Hall (Oct 1 ); Southampton Gaumont (2); Ipswich Gaumont (3); Brighton Dome (5); Aylesbury Friars (6}; Wolverhampton Civic Hall (7}; Sheffield City Hall (8).

Tickets are on sale now at theatre box offices and at tick.et agencies. They are £3.75 at Hammersmith, £3.00 elsewhere.

ALL SHOOK UP IT'S BEEN a while since The Rezillos broke up (sniff sniff) but it 's only now that Shake, the first of the splinter groups, has appeared.

Sharp-eyed readers will recognise three of the above from the old Rezillos line up, but who's that on the left? The short answer is that he's Troy Tate. From Cheltenham, Troy used to be in a band called The Index, who had an independent single of their own called "Jetlag" out in March of last year.

Troy was introduced to the rest of Shake while they were recording their newly-released EP (on Sire Records) a few months back and they all got on so well that he's staying.

For those of you who haven't heard lhe EP, it's straight forword raucous pop music, a natural progression from where The Rezillos left off.

"You can't ignore where you came from," a happy Jo Callis told us, "although obviously you don't want to dwell on it." $hake's new songs - which include one by Simon - are all pretty straightforward, he agreed.

" I think all the lyrics have got some kind of meaning to them but I think it's a fairly accessible meaning - as it should be.

"It's not any deep, inner, personal experience that happened to me in Morocco, maaanl" he added with his usual cheery grin.

At the moment Shake are keeping a pretty low profile, anxious to avoid any kind of gimmickry ot tho start of what they hope will be a long-term career. With any luck, however, we'll be able to see them sometime In August when they're planning a 20-date tour,

with probably another single to follow that. Welcome back, fellas.

Oh - if you're wondering what the cartoons below are, they're part of a special promotional comic which Shake drew up themselves. If you fancy a copy, write - remembering to send yourfull name and address-to Paul McNally, Sire Records, 39 Floral Street, London W1, and tell him we sent you.

TRB SPLIT THE TOM Robinson Band, formed in Jan 1g77 by Robinson and guitarist Danny Kustow, disbanded last week after two final appearances at festivals in Belgium. Whilst organist Ian Parker and drummer Charlie Morgan plan to return to session work for the time being, Robinson is currently working on material for a further album and there are plans for a new TRB line up early next year.

Tom commented, "We have been on the road since January and I want to spend some time concentrating on new songs and just catching up on things here. Tha t,and was originolly quite e challenging and risky venture, but now after 2½ years it's become a bit tame and predictable. It's t ime to try something fresh."

Meanwhile Danny Kustow has recently been playing gigs with Glenn Matlock and Steve New (ex Rich Kids) and Budgie (ex Slits} using the name The Jimmy Norton Explosion.

0PPO~"\u~c1ts THE KNACK - singer/guitarist

Doug Fieger, lead guitarist Berton Averre, bassist Prescott Niles and drummer Bruce Gary - got together In Hollywood just a year ago and have gained a lot of admirers for their mix of pop and rock.

Their single, "My Sharona", is not only their first hit here but it's also another winner for English producer Mike Chapman. He's the man responsible for all of Blondie's biggest successes. He also produced the Knack's debut album " Get The Knack" on Capitol Records. It has 12 tracks, all of them strong group originals

LIZZY SHOCK GUITARIST Gary Moore hll made• shock exit from Thin Lizzy. A spokesperson for the band told Smash Hits that he had been " sacked" after failing to turn up for a couple of gig■ on Lizzy's current US tour. Gary joined Lizzy in August last year.

As SmHh Hits went to press we were told that Midge Ure of the Rich Kids had flown to the States as a temporary replacement to enable Lizzy to finish their tour. It was stressed that whatever happens Thin Lizzy will definitely still appear at the Reading Festival in late August.

apart from a cover version of Buddy Holly's " Heartbeat".

Singer Doug Fieger looks a bit like a cross between a young Keith Moon and Pete Townshend. He also sounds a littl11 like a young Townshend when he makes comments like, " My personal ambition is to conquer the world before I am 30, and to die in Babylon before get old."

(Incidentally, we'd like to print the words to "My Sharona" but we haven't been able to get permission from The Knack's American publishers. - Ed.)

WHO'S WHO THE STRANGLERS, Nils Lofgren and AC/DC will all feature at The Who's outdoor gig at London's Wembley Stadium August 18. kick-off is at 4pm though gates actually open at two.

Tickets available from The Who Box Office, PO Box 4TL, London W1A 4TL, and cost £8.00. Poetal orders only are being accepted, and don't forget the self-addressed, stamped envelope. Tickets are also available from the box office at Wembley; The Harvey Goldsmith Box Office at Chappel's Music Store in London's New Bond Street; and from Virgin Record Stores in major towns (if yours doesn' t have a Virgin, ask at the biggest record shop).

Some tickets will be available at the gate, for £8.50.

BLONDIE have finished their new album, " Eat The Beat". Chrysalis release it in September when, as far as they know, the band will be back here for gigs.

MASSIVE Meat Loaf shed a few pounds recently when he led a 15 kilometre charity walk through New York. helping to raise an incredible £300,000 for handicapped kids.

SOME PRODUCT VIRGIN Records release the "Carry On Sex Pistols ... Some Product" album on July 27. There isn't a lot of music on it, just some bits of live recording mixed up in a suitably outrageous potpourri of interviews, banned radio ads, comments on the Pistols from the man in the street and other odds 'n' sods. Sounds a bit desperate to us.

PUNK four-piece U.K. Subs, who made the charts w ith "Strangehold" , were formerly known as the United Kingdom Subversives when they formed in 1977. Theirfollow-up single, "Tomorrow's Girls", is released by Gem on Sept 1.

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY AS WE keep saying, girts are really going places in the charts these days. Latest "overnight success" is Janet Kay, who has zoomed up the charts with "Silly Games" on the Scope label.

Janet, who is 21, comes from Wembley and is one of a family of six . Her real name is Janet Bogle. She did a secretarial course et Watford College before reggae singer and producer Alton Ellis heard her singing for a lark in a record shop in 1977. Since then she's made several singles which have done very welt in the reggae market.

At the end of last year Dennis Bovell (of Matumbl) got together with Janet and wrote and produced "Silly Games" for her.

r/,I

Released originally on Arawak Records, it jumped Into the reggae charts and hn ,tayed there ever since.

The big breakthrough for "Silly Games" came when the Scope label was formed by Lightning Records especially for the disco audience, and they got the single from Arawak.

Now Janet, a fan of Blondie, Peaches & Herb, Aswad and Matumbi. is concentrating on writing songs herself, playing the guitar and learning to play the drums.

Meanwhile, fans of "Silly Games" are just keen to hear more of Janet's unusual voice.

KORGIPOOP CURRENTLY in the charts with " If I Had You" (Rialto Records), the Korgis bear little resemblance to Her Majesty's fave breed of canine.

They are in fact James Warren and Andy Davis, who both hail from Bath and are escapees from loony West country group Stackridge.

Stackridge were responsible for such classic non-hits as "Dora The Female Explorer", "Do The

Stanley" and "Purple Spaceships Over Yatton" and became a much-loved band with a small but fanatical following.

The Korgis unleashed themselves last w inter with a single called "Young 'n' Russlan"/"Cold Tea" which went down about as well as the latter, but undeterred they are now beginning to take off.

Their first album (elso on Rialtol is called " The Korgis" end was recorded in a Bath flat -vocals in the lounge, guitars in the kitchen and percussion in the dining room.

0 SMASH HITS

There's another one called "Money", 0 A Different Kind Of Tension" and one called "I Believe" - and I can't remember the other one I John: One of the songs Pete'd written six yHrs ago which he's decided It'• alright for Buzzcocks to do. We've recorded that one and It's come out very well . It's called " ParadlH" . Most of the othen ■re pretty n-. John: There's a lot more mid-tempo songs on this one, more In the style of " Fiction Romance" on th• first album, that type of thing. It'•• progrenlon anyway from the thrff minute love song thing, although there are love songs on It. John: We're not letting anybody - even our manager - hHr rough tapes of It or anything.

ALL TIME FAVOURITES Pete Shelley I (#on't ~ave the necessary machinery to select favourites. Re<:ently I've been listening to ROBERT FRIPP's "Exposure" which I bought after hearing him talk about it on Radio Clyde when we played Loch Lomond In May. Generally I listen to quite e f-German ele<:tronic groups. HARMONIUM, CLUSTER, IIOEOEUUS all spring to mind, along with THE STERN GANG ■ncl ERICH FROMM's "Laibeltunst" elbum.

Steve Diggle I find most of JOHN LENNON's worll lneplmlon■I, both with Th• Beatles 1!1M1 Th■ Plastic: Ono Band, when solo or wfth Yolto.

Telling the Story Now that Third World found

suceeu, you want to know how ? Alex Slcoreclc/ has the details.

I T'S FUNNY how chart action ch•nvn people'• Image of • group. Before the M-■ of

"Now That We Found Love". Third World might have been celled • high cla11 reggae band - something of • well-cultured oddity amongat t ha toHten and rude boy• of the Jaffllllcan .-. Nowadays they, along with people Ilk• Inner Circle.- more likely to be lumped into that dl-/reggN crouonr beg. Butthe■tory I• with moat

Jemalcan groupa) la more compllcated than that. For• ■tart, four members of Third World - Steve •eat· Coore (guitar). MlchNI 'llo' Cooper (keyboard■). WIiy Stewert (drums) end lead vaceliat Bunny 'Rug•' Clarke - actually UMcl to ,,. lnllff Circle.

That venlon of Inner Circle wH formed In 1969 and 911llt up about two yHr■ lllter. Bunny left for N- York. while Cat and Ibo stayed around to form the future Third World In 1973. Bunny reoella that It dlch1't take him long to decide to rejoin his old friend■.

··1 -Third Wortcl play for the ftr■t time In N-York. After the ■how I went backstage to uy hello -the nut day• -travelling to Boston with them. a• member of the band I"

WIiiy st-•rt Joined soon after to take over H dnnwmer. With the addition of pe,a,Hlonlat Irvin 'Cerrot' J-and bHalst Richie Daley lhey Richie -where•• your nldlname?I the group WH complete.

18 SMASH HrTS

FROM THE ■tart. Third World have be■n • rather superior quality ,egg• band - due partly. no doubt. to their backgrounds. Cat. for Inst-. Is the ■on of an ex-Cabinet Minister. • sharp contrast to the tredltlonal Tr■nchtown ghetto roots of many Jemalcen musicians. But h■'• the first to deny any "superiority'', pointing out how he grew up with more ordinary kids around him.

"We used to fly th■ ••m• kite. eat the seme food. talk the ume way. When the police came end raided u■, they took ell of us to jail ...

All of 17 ve•rs old when he formed the band. Cat remains their youngnt. yat In many ways moat c,eatlve, member, But on the whole they work together, taking Joint compoling credits on many of their songs. The average ■ge of the b■nd Is ■round 2f-■t 31, Bunny calla himself "the father"!

The first Britain uw of Third World wn ■ support to the Wailers on their first big tour In 1975. But until recently It WH their first two albums that formed the basis for their following. Sophisticated by reggae ■tandards, th■y uae much more " rock" atyl■ pace and rhythm for C■t's guitar, padded out with plenty of keyboards. touchn of juz and ev■n flute. ■II over ■ distinct. If polite, beat.

What m■d■ their song• at■nd out even more were the lyrics -none of the fore.ti.II Jam■lc■n

dialect but equally compelling in their neat, well-crafted f■■hlon. T■ke " 1885 (96 Degree• In The Shade)" ...

"You caught me on the loou. fighting to be free

Now you show me ■ noose on the cotton tree.

Entertainment for you -Martyrdom for me." That aong was• big hit for

them In the regg■e ch■rta, though nothing like the l■ter succns of " Now That We Found Love" . They had a w■ll-pollshed formula going for them, but ironicelly it took this dance number to cr■ck the national charts for them ovar hare. Wh■t's more. It w■an·t even

one of their own compositions. Originally written by Gamble ■nd Huff ■s ■n album tr■cll for the O' Jays, you don' t need to listen h■rd to hear those HIiiy ov■rtones. What Third World did WH to add an lrrnlatabl■ regg■e thwang - th• disco• did the rast.

The aong Itself. however. w■a not a n-one to them.

Bunny: "When Third World first went on t he ro■d back in 1973, playing dance music -three of four sata ■ night - 'Now That We l'ound Love· w■• always • favourite of ours. We m■de aome ■dju■tments, changed some of the lyric!, - and It turned out nice: '

But aome credit for then­aound must ■iso go to their new producer, Alex Sadkln. His previous success had been with groups like KC & The Sunshine Band. ao he w■sn·t ■n obviou• choice. But " Journey To Addis" (lsl■nd). the ■lbum from which the hit single w■• t■ken, showed the mark of his influence. A further single, "Cool Meditation" ■iso captured a certain amount of glory - another 10 weeks in the charts. peaking ■t no 17.

WlTif THIS sudden upswing In their fortun■s, any b■nd would find it h■rd not to be influenced for their future r■IHsn. ■nd Third World ■re no excaptlon. The latest single, "Talk To Me". al■o carrl■s that familiar disco/ reggae touch.

In f■ct, as we were talking the news came In that the single'• ch■rt progreu had t■ken an early knock. But Bunny aeemed to t■ke It In his stride Haily enough, saying that then- album. "The Story•• Been Told". wm ... things straight on that score. Judging by their previous at■ndarda, I don't doubt It.

But there's another factor that the band have In their favour -their visual Impact. M■ny Jamaican artists ■re strictly, or at least l■rg■ly. concerned with the studio ■nd aeldom mak■ at■ga appearances.

By contrast, the Ide■ behind Third World has always Included • hHvy emphasis on performance. Their regular tours of Jamaican d■nce dubs. where they h■d to work hard for the attention of • not Haily plened audience. gave them • rigorous apprenticeship.

A more recent developm■nt In their c■r■er has been their special show celled " Explanltatlona". Thia it something they haven' t tried over here yet, but by all account, it goes down • treat in Jamelca. Balically. they expand the them■- in their aongs with d■nce and dr■m•. all combined into one coherent sat.

Parhaps the fact th■t they've been playing to p■cll■d hou ... in Britain h■• perau■d■d them th■t their show doesn't need any extras just yet, but It's an ace up their sleeve th■t we'll be happy to ... th■m play any time they like.

C LIFF WHITE Just came charging In the office and said, "Bev, listen to this -

it's great!" So there's me thinking he's about to crack• joke, but no, he's about to play a record. So I listened and thought, crikey, he's right! It /sgreatl The record was '1 Wanna Do The Do" by Bobby Rush !Philly, Import) and Cliff reckons-well, we both do now -that it's gonna be a massive hit (if it ever gets released here). Cliff seems to be carrying his copy around and giving everyone a trial hearing, so look out for him - he may be heading your way.

Before he dashed out of the office (clutching his Bobby Rush single of course), I said to him "Have you got a couple of hours, Cliff? Only I've got some equally good records." But I won't bore you with our conversation details, 111 just give you my verdict. Arst on the turntable was Roy Ayers' new single, "love Will Bring Us Back Together". I reckon this is the best track off his "Fever" album and deserves to be a hit.

Earth Wind&. Fire's follow up to " Boogie Wonderland" Is "After The love Has Gone", taken from the album " I Am". When I first played the album, I thought "Star" was by far the best track but I hope this does as well n "Boogie Wonderland". Another record that I'm raving about (end so Is my mate Nick) is "Strut Your Funky Stuff" by Frentlque IPhily Import) I'm sure

','ou'II find this great to dance to - I just can't keep still to it.

A couple of -ks ago, whilst I was boogying the night away In • disco, I heard a record which I've been singing ever since. It was called "Gone Gone Gone", and then I found out that It was by Johnny Mathis (CBS). I couldn't believe ltas I'd never even given him a thought before, despite my Mum trying to Influence me with her collection of albums. I suggest you get hold of a copy because I think it's gonna be a smash.

Two album tracks that ere big at the moment are "Corne On And Do It" by Poussez taken from the album "Poussez", and " What You Waiting For'' by Raydio (Arista). Tt-.ey had a hit with "You Can't Change That"

22 SMASH HITS

and this Is taken from their album "Rock On".

Al Wilson's new single "Earthquake" (RCA) also seems to be pretty popular with continuous plays In the discos. Another couple definitely on their way up are "Keep On Knocking" by Jacob Miller (Joe Gibbs, Import) and "You Never Know What You've Got" by You And Me !Laser) and, oh yeah, not forgetting "My Tune" by Cool Notes (Scope)!

I met my friend 'Big Tom Holland' the other day, end for those of you who don't know, he's the OJ from the Lecy Lady club in Seven Kings, llford. He reeled off about 20 of his favourite picks, and here's a few for you to checl< out. "Tell Me Me" by Curtis Mayfield IRSO) taken from the album "Heartbeat". "Sweet Lady" by Chain Reaction (Import, Jam Sessions), "light Of The Universe" by Sun (Capitol import) and "I Love" by Taste Of Honey (Capitol import). Remember their hit "~le Oogle Oogle"? Well, they re back with another biggie.

I'm pleased to say that I've been getting some fan mail at the office - unlike Red's hate mall! Thanks to Brian of Halstead, you never know Brian I might pop 'round one day I Also to Neil of Woking-your local club in Walton sounds great fun, and I'll try to get down there sometime.

Before I go, I'd like to say 'hello' to Tracey Bush of Grantham who is a regular reader and disco freak even though she is only 14. I think she's got great taste - keep funking Tracey!

You're not going to believe this, but whilst I W8$ writing this, Cliff White came in, went out, but now come back with yet another single. This time It's the new one from the Fat Larry Band titled "Looking For A Love Tonight" (Fantasy) -very similar to GQs "Disco Nights". This Is equally as good as Boby Rush -1 just don't know where he's getting them all from! He does nothing else but boogy round the office all day showering me with new releases. Keep it up Cliff- at last my Job Is becoming easier!

Boogying Bev

Get Another Love By Chantal Curtis on Pye Records

Baby, sweet baby Evwy night when I'm In bed I reach out for you but you're not there So I think of you with her Laughing end making love And I tell myself I too - I've got to get another love

My baby nld to me It's time to bruk free Going on this way Huru more end more each day When I look you In the eyn They don't shine, I wonder why

Chorus Get another love, get another love That's whet I've got to do Get ■nothet' love, get another love That's whet I've got to do

I gave myself Inside Pieces I try to hide And put them In your hands I thought you'd undentend That I needed you oh to be my man Repeat chorus

You've made me '" The joys that life can bring The many little things Together we could sing Oh eh end now you wanna INve After ell then years

By RED STARR THOUGHT you'd got rid of us, didn't you? Tough luc:11, Starr t eaffl'S. The reel reason I'm ovllt' here this t ime ia beceus• Cliff White - well, it's notthe woodworm in hla wooden leg w e mind, or even that g rating noise when his brain cells rub together (both of them). but when it comes to the vital young mualc of today- shffsh, torte abaht iggerantl

So, here I am to put y ou In the picture with aome of those pioneering Independent singlH , generally the ones with more character and energy than the rest put together. Starting with . . ..

GLASS TORPEDOES: Someone Different (Tffnbeat/Rough Trade). Liverpool will rise again I A real gem of a 3 track EP from :the Kirby kids - two soaring,

~

nergetic catchy pop tunes and a riving instrument al ancl every ne a w inner! Simple,

jUnpretentious and a sheer joy to hear - every home shou ld have one. Probably single of the year, OK?

l-uo & THE BUNNYMEN: The liikt~res On My Wall (Zoo}. More Liverpudlians and another excellent single. Greal song, mysterious, eerie and melodic, i)rippingly sung over spirited acoustic guitar and Mellotron ! Magic-love it l

CULT AGURES: Zip Nol1111 (Rather/Rough Trade). I detect a very large helping of the utterly splendid Swell Maps here in one pf t heir more carefree moments. Chaotic but tuneful song a bout a highway patrolman - listen and grin! Great stuff.

M SMASH HITS

+ + + +

- --------'JI,:-.

METAL BOYS : SweetMaylln (Rough Trade). Breathy, whispered vocals over tight, razzy guitar and clipped, urgent synthesised rhythm. Intriguing, danceable and vaguely menacing - like it, like it.

SHAKE: Culture Shock (Sire). The instrumental half ofThe Rezillos re-emerge w ith this extremely nifty four track, ten inch EP. Bristling w ith energy and feeling, this tuneful, no-nonsense pop-rock grows on you w ith every play. Clever, fun and built to last - posers beware!

SPARKS: Beat The Clock !Virgin). My idea of hell is finding Sparks in Heaven. I hate their falsetto voices and false moustaches but worst of all I hate the way their stupid songs cling to the brain w ith distressing tenacity. This is more disco style garbage but not as strong as their last effort - thank God.

MONOCHROME SET: Eine Symphonie des Grauens (Rough Trade). Tuneful, almost cheerful and certainly very accessible stuff here - good song, adventurous backing and fine \ playing: very good indeed. Modern but light.

(All of the above come highly recommendt1d. If you have difficulty obtaining tht1m, write to Scott at Rough Trade, 202 Kensington Park Road, London W11, and tel/him west1ntyou.)

THE CARS: !At's Go IElelltra). The best track from their excellent new album, this is sleek, well-designed, chrome pop. Beaty and melodic but may take a few spins to sink in. Good one. The '8' side, " That's It" , is not on the LP.

THE MEN: I Don't Depend On You !Virgin). If my beady ears don't decei11e me, this is in fact the thoroughly wonderful Human League plus st1ssion musicians and girt vocalists, It's also really good, so persevere if it doesn' t hit you immediately. Difficult fun - a strong female message over tongue in cheek disco. Buy it first, love it tater.

UNDERTONES: Here Comes The Summer !Sire). I thought " Male Model" would have been a better single but this distinctive little pop gem will be a deserved hit anyway. Two tracks on the flip, neither on their album.

BOOMTOWN RATS: I Don't Like M ondays (Enalgn). This w ill probably be number one for weeks-unfortunately. I think The Rats are shallow and a prize

bore but I do seem to be In a minority of one. Still, might as well go down f ighting - this is an Elton John/Bowie ri p-off for the under f ives, r ight?

SIMPLE M INDS: Chelsea Girl (Arista/Zo om). The crowd favourite from a superb Scotlish band who are the bridge between M ainstream and New Wave. A m edium paced but urgent ballad, it's a passionate appeal to an empty headed girl from a lonely boy. Simply a classic-acquire immediately if not sooner. The 'B' side, " Garden Of Hate" , i s not on the album.

-DIRE STRAITS : Lady Writer (Vertigo). This is SO like "Sultans Of Swing" it's not true. look, the only way you'll want this is if you've got (a) more money than sense, and (b) a memory like a sieve.

ANITA WAAD: Make O.lieve Lovers (TK) . I suppose you can't expect her to follow up "Ring My Bell" just likt1 that, but this is a disappointingly thin song with Anita sounding a dead ringer for Deniece Wi Ilia ms. However, Bev - who know s about these things - says a hit . So be it.

+ + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + .

l<ANOIDATE: Girls Girls Girts {RAK). I'm under strict orders from Bev to give this a good review . A pow erful woman is our Bev - she can break a man's arm w ith a blow of her nose. This is smooth soul a la disco w ith a rew su itable partying noises and even some handclaps for good measure. Dumb lyrics but doubtless a hit anyway.

ME AND YOU: You Never Know What You Got (LI Hr). A j aunty, summery little reggae number w ith a madly catchy hook and chorus that w ill haunt you from the word go. Verily I say unto you, a monster hit.

fl YING LIZARDS: M oney (Virg in). WOTTI! Blimey - e bored, vaguely foreign sounding lady recites the lyric of this rock classic over a backing that sounds as if it was co ncocted from t in boxes, cheapo Woolies guitars and a synthesiser. Very strange. Actually, it 's great and almost b izarre enough to be a hit.

MATCHBOX: Black Slac ks (Magnet). This Is great ­outrageous fun from a modern rock'n'roll (Darts style) band. I defy anyone to sit still to this cracker and If anybody buys Showaddywaddy Instead I shall take it as a personal insult. Tha least you can do Is check it out, OK?

TALKING HEADS: Take Ma To The River (Sire). Reissue of a briJ/iantversion of th is great Al Green song by New York's finest. Taut, sensuous and emot ional, i t 's electr ic funk that grabs the bra in as well as the body. It's wonderful and you've got to have it

DEAR PUNKS, Teds and other idiots. For God's sake grow up. I'm fed up w ith you criticising each other. We all have our own bands we like so shut your traps, you mouthey lotl Kevin Depear, Spalding, Lines. Hmm. It's a bit short on wit, Kevin, but at least It's SHORT -•nd·to the point.

IN YOUR mag, 28June-11 July, BITZ, you stated that The Voice Squad was a band called Kokomo. But in a recent radio interview Tom said it was TRB, but the rest of the band didn't like that sort of music so they called themselves The Voice Squad. Which is right? Dave Shepherd, Reigate, Surrey. P.S. Good band to check out: Pinpoint. And how about giving Wire a plug? Oh ho ho HO HO HO. Let's reed that again. How about yuk yuk yuk giving Wire tee hee hee a plug AH HA HA HA HA ERRRFFFFF.

WHAT I can't understand is why folks only like punk or only lite soul or only like rock 'n' roll etc. After hearing doses of each variety, I realise that each type has its good and bad points. At the moment I find myself dancing to soul and disco music. But that doesn·t mean there lsn·t some ace punk around at the moment.

Who cares what anyone else likes? Music's to enjoy, ain't it? C. Shendan, a Soul/Punk/Rocle 'n' Roll and even Pop Music loving Londoner, I/ford, Essex. PS. Music rules over violence. More than that, everything rules over violence.

I AM a fan of Abba, ELO and Supertramp. and I've got an idea w hich I'm sure all guitar players w ou ld gain from. My idea is to print guitar chords alongside the wor~ of the Smash Hits singles. Easy guitar chords shown on the page would help the beginners like myself. Paul Clark, Edinburgh.
