The Kursaal Flyers: The Great Artiste
John Tobler, NME, 24 April 1976
I'VE BEEN PLAYING this album to the exclusion of all else over the last couple of weeks: it comes as something of a shock to suddenly discover just how very interesting/amusing/well planned are the lyrics of nearly all the songs.
