A Strangler alone with a song from the film soundtrack of When The Wind Blows. A simple almost childlike little tune which, were it not for a mean bit of boogie piano by that foul mouthed ogre of children's telly, Jools Holland, wouldn't be out of place on Play School. It purports to question the way that facts and figures are bandied about by both sides in the nuclear debate. While I have no qualms with the motives or the integrity of the artists involved, these sort of songs which attack familiar issues without offering anything in the way of an answer really get on my wick. Expect some great intellect like Gary Davies to play it and then say something uninspiring like 'A message we should all pay attention to'. No thanks. (Pat Thomas, No 1, January 31, 1987)
