Two People - This Is The Shirt (Polydor)

It seemed to be evolving at quite a nice pace and then the tempo change came as quite a surprise - it's really uncomfortable. "This is the shirt/ Which she wore/When it was good good good" - that's an excellent lyric, certainly unorthodox. I haven't heard someone romanticising about an article of clothing for a long time. I think they're probably capable of producing better records. - the guy can sing. (Roland Orzabal [Tears For Fears], Smash Hits, April 24, 1985)

Apparently The Next Great Thing to come out of Liverpool. Two People are, unsurprisingly, two people plus guitars and a stack of energy. Not too sure what's the great significance of the shirt, but it's not a bad record. (Paul Simper, No 1, May 18, 1985)

Liverpool duo Two People should be proper pop stars by now because they should have gone to at least number 12 with "This Is The Shirt" when it was originally released two years ago. Now it's been revamped and re-released and it's still v. fab and an obvious single of the fortnight and ... and then along came Prince. (Barry McIlheney, Smash Hits, March 11, 1987)

By the looks of the sleeve, it's the one they threw up in. A strong tune but goodness me, it sounds like a million other groups of this ilk. (Nancy Culp, Record Mirror, April 11, 1987)

Excellent! It's got a fantastic change of pace after the first minute. The title's great as well. I think what they're singing about is a shirt that reminds them of a lost love one which is a terrific comparison because like music, clothes hold a lot of memories for some people. The production's got lots of interesting things to listen out for especially the piano. They almost made it with their last single "Heaven". I'm certainly going to be playing this - very original.
