The Shillelagh Sisters - Give Me My Freedom (CBS)

Mundane rock-a-boogie written by a shrewd chap called 'unknown'. Not only is the lead vocal delivered totally deadpan, but every line is immediately repeated by the equally dozy backing singers. There's a lot of fuss being made about these rockabilly girls. On the evidence of this single, I can't see why. (Martin Townsend, No 1, March 31, 1984)

I haven't even the heart to damn it. It is an awful record, an atrocious record. "Give Me My Freedom"...isn't that what record reviewers always say...why am I locked in this room? (Paddy McAloon [Prefab Sprout], Record Mirror, April 7, 1984)
