The Pastels - I Wonder Why? (Rough Trade)

If The Velvet Underground had ever made sweet, trite pop songs then this would have been one of them. It's ever so clever with neat little words and so on, but even the fact that the incredibly hip Strawberry Switchblade sing on it doesn't prevent it from being useless. Short and shallow. (Paul Bursche, No 1, October 22, 1983)

Vinyl Gold: Currently the single goes for about sixty quid ($75) online.
