Blancmange - That's Love, That It Is (London)

Thankfully we are calm enough now to evaluate this record with some sense of hygiene. I like the song. So do the panel. The production, however, is a little bit 'standard contemporary'. (Jools Holland and The Panel, Smash Hits, November 24, 1983)

The dynamic duo return with a belter of a song which should quickly re-establish them at the top of the synthetic tree just in time for Christmas. With Tears For Fears also about to charge back into the scene, we can safely assume that we've seen the last of those nasty guitar bands for a while. (Paul Bursche, No 1, November 19, 1983)
