GULLBOY - Review
"No idea who The
Beale
is, but if that is him on
the cover he is an ugly
sod. I was glad to cover
him up with the
"property of
WZBC" sticker I
(usually sadly) plaster
on the cover of all Gullbuy
adds. As for his (their?)
music, it is pretty good.
The guitars sound a lot
like the Yummy
Fur. I
wouldn't be surprised to
find out that The
Beale
was some kind of side
project with a different
vocalist. The Guided
Missile
advert which came inside
the single describes this
single as "neo-Fall
gobshites! Superb 2 track
debut 7" not to be
missed". Of course,
their aim is to sell
records, but the single
is good. the B-side
sounds as much like John
Cale's
version of Jonathan
Richman's
Pablo
Picasso
as it does the drawl of The
Fall's Mark
E. Smith.
I like the A-side best as
it is the more upbeat of
the two tracks." |

N.M.E. - Review
"The cover of the
likeably pathetic The
Beale vs Craig David
is a very poor photo of a
man with a lot of beer
and a badly-drawn Craig
David
beard. There is very
little to recommend this
7" to anyone under
the age of 30 or without
a tragically large
collection of records by The
Fall.
But sometimes chundering
guitars and confused,
rancorous, borderline
surreal shouting can make
an old man, if not
exactly happy, then at
least moderately
amused." - John

ROUGH
TRADE SHOP - Catalogue
"First proper single
from hotly tipped
scousers - sounding like
early Fall,
Joy
Division,
PIL
and The
Fall again
etc." |
