Alessi: The Other End, New York NY
Barbara Charone, Sounds, 21 May 1977
A&M DIDN'T want a picture of twin brothers Bobby and Billy Alessi on the cover of their debut album because they wanted the music to sell itself. Not yet 24 years old, the Alessi Brothers are very pretty. They are also very good.
