Nothing Grand/Rocky Took A Lover

Sadly an apt title. Bolton makes all the right noises here but somehow comes up with nothing to really stick in the memory. Everything – the songs, the singing, the playing – is alright yet lacks anything to make it stand out. Strangely, it’s a problem that also afflicts the RDS bound Bell X1. For all their position as the people’s champions, this is a very ordinary kind of record I’m afraid, especially let down by a weak vocal.
