Like GREEN with a hangover. The music is a wash of droning guitars, drowned in reverberation. This puts THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN into the BUCKS FIZZ league, with its lack of "conventional" production and the absence of any hard edge to the beat. Vocals are used sparingly, in fact everything is, except distortion. Sticking my neck out, I'd say this might escape the Network Chart.

It's a call to the workers of Britain to make good use of what was learnt during the Miners Strike. And what was learnt? EASTERHOUSE believe we have learnt that it was the main offensive in a Tory class war and that the wgrkers will know better next time. In realitz, what's likely to be learnt is merely a fear of striking. They gloomily suggest "the Tories have no option" and blame a limp Labour Party. So who's whistling in the dark?
