The Armoury Show - Glory Of Love (Parlophone)

Richard Jobson has certainly progressed since his days with the Skids. You can understand at least half he's singing on this record, although he does deliver a good few heathen chants for old times, so you still feel you're among friends. Not as good as it should be, but they're getting there. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, June 29, 1985)

The Armoury Show are a powerful team (Richard Jobson and John McGeogh) so heaven only knows why this band aren't having massive hits. Their first two singles had enough fury and passion for the whole top hundred but obviously they're falling on deaf ears. Having said that though, the recorded "Glory Of Love" doesn't quite match up to their live version -a case of the wrong producer for the right song. (Debbi Voller, No 1, July 6, 1985)
