Two People - Mouth Of An Angel (Polydor)

Liverpool group Two People were hotly tipped a while back, released a not very good single, then disappeared off the face of the planet for a while. Until now. in fact. This is a surprisingly sprightly thing, guitars strumming away at a fine old pace while kettle drums boom away and the song fair jogs along. Very acceptable. (William Shaw, Smash Hits, September 24, 1986)

Smart young men with nice haircuts part 149. Two People could be any one of those vacuous duos record companies have been hell bent on signing up. A lot of expensive production has gone into a completely unmemorable song. Even after four plays, all I wanted to do was keep staring out of the window at the pigeons. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, September 20, 1986)

Vinyl Gold: My own copy of this single cost 16 quid, and the 12 inch is worth a bit more. Although they recorded an album, nothing by Two People has been officially released digitally.
