The Associates - Take Me To The Girl (WEA)

Pleasant enough release with catchy, tinsel-town melody. Just the sort of song that I imagine Midge Ure doing. 'Cept if old Midge were to record "Take Me To The Girl" it'd be top of the pops for a month. Tough at the top, innit? (Mike Mitchell's Cat, Record Mirror, November 2, 1985)

Here's Johnny - Idlewind (RCA)

Brilliant big band swing. A new number done in a period style, "Idlewind" was the original name of New York's famed airport. After John F Kennedy's assassination the whole shebang was renamed in honour of the much maligned president. The Americans named an airport after a politician, so why shouldn't this cute foursome name a song after an airport? Order a copy now. (Mike Mitchell's Cat, Record Mirror, November 2, 1985)
