The Kursaal Flyers: Brunel University, London
John Tobler, NME, 24 January 1976
THE ONLY REASON I KNOW for the Kursaal Flyers not to be as popular as sliced bread is that their first album was so badly produced as to render a set of at least seven potential hit songs almost unrecognisable compared to their excellence on stage.
