Eurythmics - Right By Your Side (RCA)

Sounding like something The Tourists might have done a few years back, the Eurythmics are definitely sticking their necks out with this one. Annie's sweet soul voice commandeers the unique electro-calypso backing that also boasts a shiny African juju guitar and the whole shebang sounds really fab. Is there no end to this pair's talent? (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, October 27, 1983)

Cool and breezy, light and easy, as Annie Lennox gives a human calypso touch to Dave Stewart's synthesized arrangements. Just when you were wondering whatever happened to that girl, here she is. And there's that hit. (Debbi Voller, No 1, October 29, 1983)

Party time at last for the Eurythmics. A sweet calypso beat sways beneath the chameleon voice of Ms Lennox, which has taken on a whole new grace and style. A total change from what they've been doing, but they have the class to carry it off. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, October 29, 1983)
