Danny Wilson: Bebop Moptop
Johnny Black, Q, August 1989
THE FREQUENTLY poor quality of second albums is often explained by reference to the unavoidable circumstances whereby most successful artists have 18 years to write their first 12 songs, and six months to write the next 12. Danny Wilson have neatly avoided this trap, by taking two years to follow up their much-lauded debut.
