Shake Summation
Peking Man Lift Your Head Up High (Hitp Singles) Peking Man still haven’t quite got the hang of making records. Everyone gets their bit in a very ordered way here and we end up with something characterised neither by leanness or abandon. Margaret Urlich’s spunky vocalising is the highlight of this song which tosses up a few nice ideas but strings it all out so far that it’s an effort to listen through. The live
recordings on the flip give the impression that the band needs a songwriter. The Wait The Walls (Ode) Extremely noble stuff about the Walls of Jericho and what might have transpired had they not toppled but a muddled arrangement and weedy sound rob the song of the impact one of its style needs to work. The other two tracks, ‘Let Me Be Heard’ and The Burma Road’ are similar stuff, if a little more memorable. Russell Brown
