Cherie and Marie Currie: Messin' With The Boys (Capitol) **½
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 2 February 1980
"THEY" SAY that Capitol have got themselves in the position of having to blow a bunch of bucks on promoting this turkey if they want to have any hope at all of recouping the wildly inflated studio costs expended on same due to the vocal shortcomings of sis Marie. If this tale ain't true, then all I can tell you is the record doesn't help to dispel my acceptance of it.
