There are some big names there too, of course. BILLY IDOL does a weak version of TOMMY JAMES' sixties classic "Mony Mony", LEO SAYER does a ridiculous up- dated version of "Unchained Melody" and, the only hit on the album, DAVID GRANT and JAKI GRAHAM's "Mated" sounds ridiculously out of place. continues > BSVs Index - 540 Fanzine - 545

THE ADVENTURES, a grossly underrated band, two of whose tracks feature here deserve more than to be stuck to the same piece of vinyl as LEO SAYER. Better handling of talent like that and there'd be no need for compilations like these. XJulian Newby) more follows > BSVs Index - 540 Fanzine - 545
