The Toy Dolls - James Bond (Lives Down Our Street) (Volume)

This record is so ridiculous I couldn't help but smile. Although the singer sounds like Minnie Mouse and the jokes wear thin fairly fast (yes, a note of cynicism has crept in - but I'm just thinking of my reputation), at the end of the day, who cares? Lines like "My name is Bond, James Bond/My hair is blond/dyed blond" never did anyone any harm. For juvenile delinquents everywhere. (Ursula Kenny, No 1, September 28, 1985)

Q. Is it remotely possible that the Toy Dolls could release a record even more excruciatingly awful than "Nellie The Elephant"? A. Yes. (Lesley O'Toole, Record Mirror, October 5, 1985)
