Visage: The Anvil (Polydor)***
Betty Page, Sounds, 27 March 1982
SO WHAT can I tell you that's new? As I write, Steven is welcoming guests to his super new Sunday Tea Dance club in Kensington. I'm stuck by the radiogram with this 'new' Visage tour-de-of-course which is not very Strange, quite Rusty, has a crop of pesky Midges in the air but doesn't register as a complete fail-Ure.
