BOC: Sunday Times review

[Cyberkrel]

The TYA band with the new guitarist in tow, really rocks - the last couple
of albums were gems - but prob doomed to extinction now, without Lee -
shame, coz they're  a tighter band.
Incidentally, there's a superb CD just come out of Blue O Cult called "The
Singles Collection" or something like that (I'm not in front of the work
computer) - all prev rel stuff (I guess) but a great set of tracks for a
really cheap price.
