Talking Heads - The Lady Don't Mind (EMI)

This track is nowhere near as good as "Slippery People". In fact it's only. .. very good! Talking Heads can turn out genius every time. This will be another of their tracks which brings the weird dancers onto the floor of trendy nightclubs up and down the country, MacMillans in Liverpool being the first! (Simon O'Brien, Smash Hits, May 22, 1985)

Concerning the Heads' renovated image; they have taken several leaves out of the ABC catalogue of cartoon capers, mixed and thrashed it with a multitude of multitones plus bits and pieces from Crolla cast-offs ... But not to worry, because musically they have come full circle and now sound as brash, as exciting and as vibrant as they did way back in '77 when they came to England supporting the likes of the Ramones. This is a marvellous record that has its cachet and nouse in all the right places ... knee deep in a niche. (Dylan Jones, Record Mirror, May 25, 1985)
