Sigue Sigue Sputnik: The First Generation (Jungle)
Chris Roberts, Melody Maker, 30 June 1990
EVEN THE press release, once a glittering example of how to flaunt what you only very disputably have, have bashfully clammed down to a tail-between-the-legs whisper of "Bye Bye EMI, but we haven't split up". This is a collection of demos and out-takes masquerading as "meaner, raunchier and rockier versions", plus four new tracks, including a live desecration of Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel'.
Total word count of piece: 387
