STATUS QUO: Running All Over The World (Phonogram)
BIG COUNTRY: King of Emotion (Phonogram)

The Quo thing is an abomination foisted on an already crap-clogged world in the name of Sport Aid '88. That connection effectively prevents Chas 'n Dave (from whom the piano intro was filched) and John Fogerty (whose original is here bastardised for the second time) from suing, but a recent ITN poll among Africa's drought-ravaged millions showed that over 75 per cent of them would rather risk starvation than be rescued by a record this appalling!

I'll stand by the shiny metallic cliffs of Big Country's 'Steeltown' LP against a World Sneering XI, but their new single (the first BC stuff tor two years) is a threat to world peace! Adamson and company are due to visit the Soviet Union in the near future and if the peace loving peoples of that nation hear this pathetic excuse for Western pop culture, it could re-start the cold war inside six or seven bars. Elton John is one thing, but banks of Foreigner type guitars and drums being played by a man with tower blocks tor sticks are entirely another. Seal those borders, comrades, while you still can!
