More coverage has been trundling in for the single. First up, here's the
fantastic review that appeared in the most recent edition of the fantastic
ARTROCKER:
"From the land of pure pop comes this wonderful slice of Brel-esque
- Scott
Walker string laden torch single-ness. The chorus is a massive snarling
thing,
aching with beauty. This record is enormous - truly eccentric, all on
it's own -
glorious. Buy this record and re-discover pomposity used for all the right
reasons. Made my day."
Then also - from the telly, we got a review on Teletext! It said this:
"I was often taught as a wee whipper-snapper of a Yorkshire lad to
say what I
see...at least I was by Roy Walker every Saturday night. The Six clearly
had the
Catchphrase host with the most giving them night classes. Floating effortlessly
from a glorious verse to the sinister wail of "you ugly, ugly cow",
it's the
sort of thing you bawl at your ex's house late on a Saturday night.
Well I do at any rate..."

And to finish off, we'll quote Mr. Graham Chalmers from his review in
the
bastion of cultural commentary that is The Harrogate Advertiser:
"adding strings to Horrible Face is like having your face punched
repeatedly by
the finest, prettiest, jet black leather gloves"
Very nice.
