Here's an odd claim to lay at the feet of big, brash, bulging Frankie - their new single is a grower. Not a slap-bang-mind-that-axe-m'dear-disco stormer; a grower, as in rather excellent string arrangement, muted chorus and unusual hooks. Whether the great British pound in your pocket will decide to leap generously across the counter is another matter considering the muted reception 'Warriors' received. Still, here's hoping. (Paul Simper, No 1, March 7, 1987)
The fact that you're supposed to get a CONDOM with the cassette version of this could lead to irksome speculation about the title. So let's just say that giving away prophylactics is a GOOD IDEA, and if this piece of swinging, brassy, orchestral bombast wasn't all swollen up like an inflated Durex, it might have been too. (Roger Morton, Record Mirror, March 7, 1987)
Let's Talk About (Safe) Sex: Not only was the single one of the first to be released on cassette (Cassetted) but it also came with a free condom. Not sure how many twelve-year-olds bought that.
