Wow! I just heard them on the "A Fine Day & A Brilliant Evening"
Cherry Red 1983-85 CD compilation and couldnt believe the negative Trouser Press review.
These are brilliant, stellar pop songs by a former Marine Girl (Alice Fox), and true, they're not Tracey Thorne/Everything but the Girl but thank God for that.
A lot of these prototypes for twee pop (for lack of a better term) were seriously misunderstood and are only now starting to get any sort of critical praise, so for that, I say, thanks Cherry Red for releasing these obscure 80s alterna-pops from the vault.
These pop songs still stun today. I dont know how I missed them before and thank God they're around in 2004!
