Fashion - Dreaming (Epic)

Pretty rubbishy really, but a great sleeve, almost surrealist in a way. The girl on the sleeve is obviously dreaming about a fish. It's a bit like the song, unfathomable, but worth buying for a sleeve. (Bobby Bluebell, Record Mirror, April 21, 1984)

I'd like to see what Mulligan could come up with, with Nick Beggs. (Kenneth McCluskey, Record Mirror, April 21, 1984)

I find this song struggling to get off the ground and not quite making it. Very clever production in its own way but slightly dated mixing rock guitars with general-sounding electronics. I quite like the singer but I'm not sure about the whole thing. (Dave Gahan, Smash Hits, April 26, 1984)

Poor old Fashion have been slogging away for years without ever grabbing themselves a real hit. This is one of their stronger efforts, combining all the right ingredients, a name producer (Zeus B. Held) and the right parts of disco soul to power rock.
But it still lacks a real personality of its own. And that's the problem. (Sunie, No 1, April 21, 1984)
