Howlin' Wilf & The Vee-Jays: Cry Wilf! (Big Beat)
Penny Kiley, Melody Maker, 23 August 1986
YOU COULD be mistaken into thinking this record is a joke. From the name, the nearly-trendy old-fashioned line-up (guitar and skirt, stand-up bass and cap, one drum and hat, sneer and overcoat), not to mention the sub-Lennon sleeve notes ("Spaniard In the Works"), these people look as though you could take them to the pub but you couldn't take them seriously.
