Just landed on the door mat.

Gets a cover mention but it's just an extended review. Have scan-read it and reviewer Jon Savage is full of praise; ne'er a bad word. Effectively states that the BBs ruled the roost at that time, and that SMiLE would have been even more of a cultural landmark than Pepper. Heaps praise on ML, AB, BW & Co for the stunning work done, and states that this is a very important release.  Dom & Peter R. get a mention too.

There';s more, of course.

Free CD is a Who tribute though.   I guess Mojo's editor takes some persuading…


Add:

Also an interview with Glen Campbell which touches on his time with the BBs.

Just dropped through my letterbox - relieved about the 5 stars. Groovy that they list worms as one of the standouts alng with good vibrations, heroes and surf's up!

I find the fact that Jon Savage wrote it very nice. Sort of proof that punk- and new wave-loving folks are BBs nutters too... as if we didn't already know. Good call mr John Manning Sir.

I think Jon Savage was writing for the NME in Spring 1977 when they published a rave review of 'Love You' which they said Warners had initially rejected ('Warner Bros are the idiots if you ask me' or somesuch). It did after all consist of latter-day 3-minute pop songs of the type coming back into fashion then. After this the BB had some kind of post-modern street-cred in the punk-oriented NME and related journals.

Rave reviews across the board so far, what a relief

Cool! But then again, after that Mojo 60s issue with a Smile cover story and preview 7", it would have been a bit odd if they wouldn't have given it a positive review.

Too bad the US fans won't read this review until we've had the box a couple weeks. Anybody wanna throw a Yankee a bone here and share a transcript of it? It was an American Gothic Trip, after all, even though only the British press seem to give a damn about it at the moment...
