'Thankyou ladies and gentlemen the next dance will be a rumba'-and wouldn't you warrant it those cheeky little monkeys serve up a combination of Stump and Two tone instead. Mind you,if you'd experienced any of the twelve tracks on this Locomotives 'LP you'd be beyond surprise just ten minutes in ; time enough to slap throughsome funky bass-lines deliver big beats with the coolest trumpet and MOR buffoonery ;tie your tongue in metaphorical trickery;swashbuckle some early Ants and plunder rhythm 'n' blues.Hardly to be recomended to the faint-hearted or masters of musical precision,but the perfect party tape for the tequilla- minded. The titles prove jolly good entertainment too-ideal charades material for while somebody's flicking the album over - let's try one or two:'BoDiddley is a Limerick Writer',The Trash Aesthetic: Discuss' and'Call For The Witchdoctor'.Cripes,I forgot to tell you about the two free badges:an inch in diameter,printed in red and blue, and carrying the slogans The Locomotives and Let Them Eat Cake.Doesn't everybody?
