The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle (CBS)

A stormer from The "Stones" that makes you (well, me anyway) want to strut around like a demented cockerel, "clap those hands", yell wooooh, try to spin on your neck, fail miserably, etc. Will doubtless be a massive hit, have an incredibly brilliant video and make everything all right with the world for three whole minutes. (Sylvia Patterson, Smash Hits, March 12, 1986)

Unlike his more astute "Dancing In The Street" partner, Mick Jagger is still trying to act like the rebellious youth of 20 years. A pointless remake - except as a piece of total self indulgence from a bunch of privileged, ageing 'rock 'n' rollers' (man) with nothing else to do. Noisy, messy and as much fun as having the hairs in your nose pulled out one by one. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, March 8, 1986)

A cast of sharply-dressed cartoon characters adorns the picture sleeve of "Harlem Shuffle". The Rolling Stones have been going so long that they seem almost the same - look no further than Jagger's Spitting Image for confirmation. "Harlem Shuffle" is the first single from the Stones for ages and its confident rhythm & blues-cum-soul arrangement will doubtless send it soaring into the charts. To these ears though it sounds as polite and ordinary as Sunday lunch - and I eat in the evening. (Adrian Tierney-Jones, No 1, March 15, 1986)
