You know that power chord in the Stones"Start Me Up"? Well, The Bluebells have revived it to great effect in a song which should stop those accusations of wimpiness. There's even a hint of Thin Lizzy (circa "Whisky In The Jar") plus a chorus so catchy you couldn't forget it if you wanted to. An unusual choice for a single, but a good one all the same, and there's a bonus for dedicated No.1 readers. . . play hunt Paul 'Young At Heart' Simper in the video (clue: he's the one bell-ringing at the front). (Karen Swayne, No 1, February 2, 1985)
The best youth club rock band in Glasgow, the beefed up Bay City Rollers, crack back with an intro nicked from the Stones' "Start Me Up", rhyme 'city' and 'pretty', then rock some more. Top 10 I'd warrant. (Jim Reid, Record Mirror, February 2, 1985)
Over And Out: A one off single following on from their 1984 LP Sisters, it would be their last single, although a revival of "Young At Heart" due to an ad campaign renewed interest in the band in the nineties. This single has never been released on CD.
