The A&R departments of the major record labels must have been keeping the London to Glasgow shuttle going singlehandedly in recent times. To get a record deal you've got to have a Mc in front of your name and a guitar over your shoulder. And joining the Hipsways, the Sugar Sugars, the Chewy Racoons and 10,000 others, we now have the Big Dish. And no doubt about it - they're the best of the bunch. "Big New Beginning" is a beautifully catchy tune with melody, smooth guitars and a lazy, soulful voice to warm you right through. The best debut from a band since "Hand In Glove". Excellent. Single Of The Week. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, June 29, 1985)
Guitars, tambourines and harmonies - these old ingredients are creeping back into many a new song and Glasgow band The Big Dish have adopted this delicate style with honours. Sorta Beatles meets The Lotus Eaters - this debut single glows with melody and optimism. An excellent beginning to the Dish's career. (Debbi Voller, No 1, July 6, 1985)
