John Abbey, Blues & Soul, October 1972
THEIR ALBUM sleeve note begins: "Most of us became aware of The Persuaders via their monster single recording of 'Thin Line Between Love And Hate'. However, as is so often the case, the recording was only the beginning of a new chapter, the book had already begun to be written."
