Black - Wonderful Life (Ugly Man)

Guaranteed to make grown girls whimper and hard-nosed boys blubber. A beeeautiful, balmy antidote to today's 99 per cent inconsequential output. A smooth coating of non-drip vocal gloss glides over a melody which seduces you with its eyes shut. Lyrically, a mass of contradictions which fool no one, matey! Simplicity and perfection itself (sigh). On a par with Marks and Sparks' cheesecake. (Lesley O'Toole, Record Mirror, August 16, 1986)

A rather pretty ballad from a Liverpool lad once involved with Wylie's Wah!. With a typically studious Northern vocal - so you know he means it - this is the indie equivalent of "A Different Corner". Stick to George. 3/5 (Paul Simper, No 1, August 30, 1986)
