The Monochrome Set - Wallflower (Blanco Y Negro)

Bid and the rest of his motley crew try to build on the limited success they had with "Jacob's Ladder" by pouring on the '60s influence. This ends up not a million miles from The Smiths. A hit? Could be, could be. (Paul Bursche, No 1, June 1, 1985)

Quite pleasant. The track did not offend my ears, but then again it didn't make me tap my feet. Even my girlfriend Lizzie, who liked the previous single, "Jacob's Ladder", could find nothing in this track to inspire her. However, if you like The Farmers Boys etc., this is a must.
