Spear Of Destiny - Prisoner Of Love (Epic)

A rather natty pack of two 7-inch singles, featuring two sides recorded live in Gdansk (bless you). I was expecting not to like this but it just goes to show how wrong you can be. It reminds me of a cross between Velvet Underground and Gary Glitter and I like them both. Bargain of the fortnight. Make these men stars. (Martyn Ware [Heaven 17], Smash Hits, January 19, 1984)

Spear Of Destiny are such a great band...I don't think this is the single they should have chosen. (Steve Strange, Record Mirror, January 21, 1984)
