The Mighty Lemon Drops: Happy Head
Len Brown, NME, 27 September 1986
THEY'VE GOT to give it to us now. They can't hold on anymore. The first of the Class of '86 to really go the distance, to actually show us what they've got. Happy Head on the block; a feature length adventure that lifts the Mighty Lemon Drops above the shambles and sets them apart from their hard-pressed relations.
