Temptations Treat Her Like A Lady (Motown) One of my favourites for the last six months, and the best thing on Motown since the last Smokey album. Smooth, sophisticated groove, both joyous and infectious, it doesn’t wane, no matter how much I hear it. I can't for the life of me understand why Murray doesn't go for it. Matt Bianco Half A Minute (WEA) 12” New heirs to the boutique throne, Matt Bianco are by now making themselves very popular at all the best soirees. Clever latin influences tinged with a pop sensibility give them a hea start on today’s serious young men. A hit right across the board. Dazz Band Let It All Blow (Gordy) 12” One of the strongest intros of the year never really seems to get past being an intro on this b-b-beat bonanza. An underdeveloped idea means that this good song misses out on a chance of greatness and 'Let It Whip' remains their pinnacle. The Power Station Some Like It Hot (Parlophone) 12” As a big fan of both Robert Palmer and Bernard Edwards, it worries me that they should want to work with anyone called Taylor. Still, the Durannie boys have probably made the best record of their career, despite some awful.

guitar from Andy. A huge hit of course. Mark Phillips
