Kilburn & The High Roads: Wotabunch!
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 11 November 1978
'ORRIBLE SLEEVE! Revolting stuffed animals and tacky cardboard cut-out Kilburos abound. I fear Stiff are disassociating themselves from Wotabunch!, which is understandable when you consider that they have their investment to protect, units to shift, booze to buy for Wreckless Eric and tutoring fees to pay for (sigh!) Rachel Sweet. After all, Ian Dury's New Boots And Panties is the only Stiffo elpee so far not to live up to the logo. I mean, it sold, like.
