In 1977 Hugh Cornwell found some Posh Totty to put on the
casting couch, and the resulting birth was a single on which said Posh bird was
backed up by the Stranglers in a clandestine attempt to make a New Wave cash in
'Hit'.
Of course it failed, but this didn't stop JJ resurrecting
the idea with a second.....yes, I said second, single!?
This one was a lot better, mainly because it had the Pub
Rock dream team of JJ Burnel and Wilko Johnson backing up the aforementioned
Posh Totty. They even wrote a new tune for her; "You Better Believe
Me"......it’s true!
All four tracks have the magnificent JJ Burnel Bass
sound, but once we lose the plodding Jet Black Drumming, and Hugh Cornwell's anaemic
guitar. Bring in Wilko's choppy Tele, ably backed up by one time Rockpile stick-man Terry Williams; we get something verging on the very good.
