"Trouble" (Polydor).
Last time I reviewed a 999 single I claimed that they'd ripped off The Clash for their name. I was wrong: I apologise. But I'm not going to apologise for slating their last single or pointing out that this is as original, shocking and attractive as the 'saucy French playing cards' on the cover.

I thank you for previous posts showing some shared family tree with the Clash via Pablo on drums. Zounds for Sounds, eh? It's not an exactly damning review except for faint praise. He may have meant slagging rather than slating. I hope you don't mind comments or that I've been lurking for well over a year and saying nothing. I have been blogging for a decade and have very few comments, almost no dialog with anyone but lots of views.
ReplyDeleteNo hanks indeed for the feedback. I like the bloggers that remain don't get so much so its always appreciated. I may do some more of these band focused days... gotta break up the Stranglers stuff somehow!
