20th May 1984, so just 35 years ago!
SMALLTOWN BOY
by
Bronski Beat
"a touching lyric about leaving home,
a remarkably agile but controlled vocal
and a good song that recalls Yazoo or Eurythmics
in its effective use of electronic simplicity"
Smash Hits, May 84.
"Singer Jimmy Somerville adds a warmth and frailty
to the electronic disco backing which is irresistable."
N°1, May 84.
"If you make a check-list of
every element of great synthpop,
you can find it in this record.[...]
When something is as
perfect an example of an artform as this,
it simply... is."
Classic Pop, April/May 2014.
