Indeed, if he w i l l care to read the I n d i a Soc election m e m o r a n d u m , he w i l l find that I was one of the people who proposed him for the presidency. It was M r P u r e w a l ' s reaction to his defeat, rather t h a n any a n i m o s i t y , w h i c h p r o m p t e d me to write to F E L I X .

Y o u r s faithfully.

V Dhanak D e a r J o h n . - J u s t d r o p p i n g a line to let y o u k n o w that w hat ever S o n i a m a y or m a y not write, or even if she o n l y thinks it; we disagree w i t h it.

Rick Archer Sean O ' B o y l e C h r i s Fox Mich Maghar D e a r J o h n , - I a m g l a d that m y letter of two weeks ago, of w h i c h the p r i m e purpose was to fill a q u a r t e r page space o n page 2 of FELIX, has given rise to correspondence filling half a page.

F r o m the three letters of last week it seems that the h i g h e r echelons of the R o y a l C o l l e g e of Science U n i o n do not themselves k n o w e x a c t l y w h a t they are to do about the stripper at their 'Revue'.

So m a y I venture a final o p i n i o n a n d say that the f e a t u r i n g o f a stripper m i g h t be just slightly inconsistent w i t h the i n t e n t i o n of p u t t i n g o n a q u a l i t y revue.

A s for C h r i s F o x , no d o u b t he w i l l l e a r n d u r i n g his year as I C U President to express himself accurately and unambiguously, or he w i l l have trouble not o n l y w i t h F E L I X reporters.

T o r e t u r n once a g a i n to the p r o b l e m of the ' u n d e m o c r a t i c m i n o r i t i e s ' , this concept was o n l y voiced to me by C h r i s F o x i n answer to a question about whether protests by w o m e n h a d been a factor c o n t r i b u t i n g to the change i n the nature of S m o k i n g C o n c e r t . I d i d not need to ' d i v i n e C h r i s ' thoughts' as S e a n O ' B o y l e makes out. I still fail to see h o w a n y o n e c a n construe that C h r i s meant any other g r o u p t h a n the w o m e n protesters referred to i n the question. If he d i d then he was even m o r e inept i n his use of the E n g l i s h language t h a n he makes out.

However, only R i c h Archer, Sean O ' B o y l e a n d M i c k M a g h a r c l a i m to e x p l a i n w h i c h other people C h r i s meant w h i l e C h r i s • hi m s e lf remains silent. A s this is the last F E L I X this t e r m we shall p r o b a b l y never k n o w .

O n e more point from M i c k ' s 5.5 i n c h p a r a g r a p h , yes I was at S m o k i n g C o n c e r t a n d 1 thought that most of the a u d i e n c e was guilty of d i s r u p t i o n a n d excess c o n s u m p t i o n of free beer. But this is irrelevant to the a r g u m e n t about u n d e m o c r a t i c minorities.

I wish next year's Revue organisers the best of luck i n their attempts to persuade the a u d i e n c e to behave themselves.

S e a n c l a i m s that R i c h A r c h e r e x p l a i n e d the reasons for the name 'Highlights Revue', and then justifies R i c h ' s lack of e x p l a n a t i o n by s a y i n g that the n a m e is obvious. O b v i o u s it m a y be to y o u a n d m a n y others, but there are people to w h o m it is not at a l l obvious. S a y i n g that it is obvious does not i n any case constitute a n e x p l a n a t i o n . N o t everyone watches the same television programmes.

I a m glad that S e a n does not m i n d people a i r i n g their views i n p u b l i c . It w o u l d be a sad day for the d e m o c r a t i c b o d y w h i c h he heads if he d i d m i n d .

Finally, having livened up your last few F E L I C E S w i t h a bit of not too serious correspondence, I hope everyone has a good s u m m e r a n d perhaps we shall meet again some day.

w h i c h may or m a y not agree w i t h them.

B a r r y A u s t i n is right about the latest m o t i o n on A b o r t i o n : I h a d already p o i n t e d out to several people i n c l u d i n g B a r r y A u s t i n , (before the m o t i o n was discussed), that, in that form, it c o u l d not be understood as i n s t r u c t i n g t Into do E x e c u t i v e or C o u n c i l a n y t h i n g . I h a d not noticed the i n t e r n a l i n c o n s i s t e n c i e s that B a r r y has p o i n t e d out, a l t h o u g h these seem to result from the amendment.

Neither had I noticed that the p o l i c y c o u l d not affect a n y existing p o l i c y , as has been correctly s h o w n in B a r r y ' s letter. It is no use w hat ever C o u n c i l s a y i n g that the p o l i c y meant to do these things - if the proponents of such ideas cannot find f r o m amongst themselves a r t i c u l a t e , clear-headed persons

c a p a b l e of d r a f t i n g a s i m p l e little p o l i c y m o t i o n , then t h a t ' s j u s t too bad. T h e only problem with I C U is that there is no system like the courts to restrain C o u n c i l or the E x e c u t i v e from a c t i n g b e y o n d their p r o p e r powers.

I c a n o n l y hope that the next C o u n c i l w i l l not be so b l a t a n t l y h i g h - h a n d e d as to invent new powers for itself! If the p o l i c y o n the ' N A C ' has been 'deleted' b y this present C o u n c i l , then it is the duty of the i n c o m i n g C o u n c i l to •overturn such a decision a n d , o n b e h a l f of their predecessors, to apologise to the next U G M for h a v i n g previously acted u l t r a vires (beyond their proper powers).

1979

Y o u r s sincerely, Sonia Hochfelder P.S. In view of their letter elsewhere o n this page, m a y I assure readers that I t h i n k R C S L I is w o n d e r f u l .

S i r , - I do not recall a n y response f r o m I C E x e c u t i v e or C o u n c i l h a v i n g been m a d e on B a r r v A u s t i n ' s letter i n F E L I X N o . 520.

P r e s u m a b l y , C o u n c i l h a d just quietly ignored the points c o n t a i n e d i n that letter! W e l l , I for one object to such a n attitude, because a n i m p o r t a n t p r i n c i p l e is involved.

If Parliament passes a p a r t i c u l a r A c t that happens to be faulty, the G o v e r n m e n t has no p o w e r to presume a 'correct' version of that A c t - it has to i n t r o d u c e a B i l l into P a r l i a m e n t to a m e n d the existing legislation, thereby r e m o v i n g the mistakes. It is o n l y after this that the 'correct' version becomes law.

Now a l l this applies, by analogy, to I C U n i o n . A U G M m a y pass a p a r t i c u l a r policy. T h i s m a y i n c l u d e p a r t i c u l a r mandates or directives. B u t for these to have any effect, they must be phrased in the correct terms. I C U C o u n c i l has no p o w e r to take the attitude, ' W e l l , the U G M really meant such a n d such, even t h o u g h they d i d n ' t a c t u a l l y say that, so that's w h a t we w i l l do.' If C o u n c i l are u n c e r t a i n , or if they w o u l d like a p a r t i c u l a r p o l i c y of a U G M altered, then they have to b r i n g the m a t t e r before another U G M ,

T h e C o u n c i l ' s E n g i n e e r i n g B o a r d has been c o n c e r n e d at the low take-up of its q u o t a r e s e a r c h s t u d e n t s h i p s in recent y e a r s a n d new arrangements are b e i n g m a d e for the 1979 a w a r d i n g e x e r c i s e to improve the s i t u a t i o n . A c l e a r i n g h o u s e for students s e e k i n g e n g i n e e r i n g research s t u d e n t s h i p s will operate in the period 11 J u n e 31 J u l y . T h e r e will also be a s m a l l reserve of s t u d e n t s h i p s available to departments that have filled their q u o t a s t u d e n t s h i p a l l o c a t i o n s a n d have further eligible c a n d i d a t e s s e e k i n g awards. We hope that this will help departments a c h i e v e a full take-up of their q u o t a allocations.

T h e n o r m a l S R C A p p e a l s p r o c e d u r e will c o n t i n u e to redistribute u n u s e d s t u d e n t s h i p s d u r i n g A u g u s t in the first i n s t a n c e in a c c o r d a n c e with C o u n c i l ' s general a l l o c a t i o n between S c i e n c e a n d E n g i n e e r i n g . In previous years the A p p e a l s e x e r c i s e h a s been too late for s o m e students s i n c e by then they had made other a r r a n g e m e n t s - h e n c e the c l e a r i n g h o u s e e x e r c i s e this year.

Prospective research students are a d v i s e d in the first i n s t a n c e to c o n t a c t the h e a d of the relevant department to see if q u o t a s t u d e n t s h i p s are available. In c a s e of difficulty students s h o u l d t e l e p h o n e t h e S R C E n g i n e e r i n g Secretariat for details of departments that have unfilled studentships. T h i s c l e a r i n g h o u s e will operate between 11 J u n e a n d 31 J u l y 1979, Departments w h i c h have difficulty in filling their q u o t a s may also c o n t a c t the E n g i n e e r i n g Secretariat (Mrs M a r i o n B i r d , S w i n d o n (0793) 26222, E x t e n s i o n 2429) for names of students s e e k i n g awards.

There will be a reserve of up to 24 research s t u d e n t s h i p s w h i c h may be a p p l i e d for o n a first c o m e first served basis by departments that have filled their q u o t a research s t u d e n t s h i p s ie w h e n S R C has received as many a p p l i c a t i o n s for eligible students as a l l o c a t e d . N o m i n a t i o n s of eligible c a n d i d a t e s for reserve s t u d e n t s h i p s s h o u l d be m a d e in the n o r m a l way except that the top of the front p a g e of the a p p l i c a t i o n form must be m a r k e d Clearing House Reserve.

I was recently elected as R a g Rep for IF Students' Union. This doesn't mean that I resemble a rag doll but that I am responsible for selling IF shirts which are excellent value for money.

I think it is important that more socializing exist between I C and IF.

As you can see from the photo I have a great passion for sitting on motor ears so beware all you B M W owners.

I have more fantasies too numerous to mention but I dread the day that I reach the age ol 2 0 .

I was going to write this article

Not just between the F E L I X Editor and the IF executive but more generally.

If you perchance to find yourself close to IF don't hesitate but walk right in and say H i !

Someone will be glad to see you and I would just love to sell you an IF shirt or sit on your motor ear.

Love and kisses, Ninushka

MEET VIRGINIA CHALMERS: IPs TREASURER Well, everyone else seems to have found something of interest to say to you all so I shall try not to let the side down.

Union room, not forgetting, of curse, our beloved coffee machines, (when they are actually working!).

M y name is Virginia Chalmers and I am the treasurer of the IF Union, (mainly because I was the only one stupid enough to stand for the position).

My main duties are to settle any bills that we receive (if we have any money left in the bank at the time), to pay in all the money we make from the things we sell, and to keep a constant supply of 2 p s in the Union Room for our coffee machines.

I was born in the North East of Scotland, but when I was 2 years old my family moved down to the South of tmgland where we lived for about 10 years. We then moved back up to Scotland to a s m a l l f i s h i n g town called Arbroath where we have been for the last 5 years.

When I finished mv () levels. I went to France to stay w i t h a family lor 6 months. W i t h m\ consequent k n o w l e d g e of the French language. I r a m i : b a ' k l o England and took the entrance exam lot the French Institute.

Well now that you kno\ a little bit about mc a n d how I c sjiric to be at IF. I - ha l l try to ' I I you something ol what m\ job atreasurer entail-.

As you probably already know the French Institute is Âť very small college and consequent!) our Union is not as rich a- we would like it to be. Our main sources of income are from the sweat-shirts, tee-shirts, stationery and sweets that we sell in the

All of us in the Union here are trying desperately lo get moregirls involved with the Union and the activities organised byImperial.

However, this has proved quite difficult as a great percentage of the girls live outside of London and commute everyday. It is therefore very difficult for them to take part in any of the evening activities.

We shall keep on al them all the same and hopefully some of them, at least, wiH respond.

I'd just like to say a qUick thankyou to all last year's Union for helping us to get settled in this year and explaining to us exactly what our jobs entail. We do appreciate their help.

Well I think that's about it.

Please feel free to come down and visit us in the Union Room A l l visitors are sometime. welcome, but we accept no responsibility lor the coffee.

Twittens I Have Known... f r o m an O r i g i n a l Idea

by Pete Spencer-Phillips a n d w r i t t e n by Sheyne L u c o c k The astonishing fact that you're still reading FELIX now at the end of the year probably means that you're an even more avid reader than the Editor, who gave up reading it himself after the first three issues!

So who is this Editor - the face behind page three? Quite obviously some of you will think he's a complete idiot and you could have done much better yourself. Others will have been continually amazed at the ever increasing standard of technical excellence with each passing issue.

CONSCIENCE The disappointment of never having got it together with the other two sabbaticals w h o also live in R o o m 434 Linstead (a grammatical error in o n e of his first issues w h i c h led to all kinds of confusions & interests) was never quite o v e r c o m e in spite of the thrill of marking up Mel Kinkie's d e l i c i o u s ly erotic articles each week. S o he developed a soci al c o n s c i e n c e to make up for it. From a truly right-wing reactionary view-point a n d an absolute mistrust of anything red or feminist and Mary in particular, there has been a steady shift in both his o p i n i o n s a n d ideas never parallelled in the course of history.

Perhaps the most striking event in this transformation was the result of an hour-long discussion over a M o o n e y with Mary o n e Sunday night (it takes that long to chew it the Mooney, not Mary) o n the fine details of the Single Transferable Vote. Now, believe it or not, but the new F E L I X Society is the only Union club w h i c h elects its officers and committee by proportional representation!!

He's even got to the stage of beating s u c h seasoned campaigners s u c h as Mary a n d myself at a quite c o m p l e x General Election Board G a m e - but Risk! is probably still his favourite.

ANGELIC At first, J o h n Harris seemed s u c h a quiet and u n a s s u m i n g lad, exuding i nno c e nc e from somewhat angelic features. T h o u g h things are not always what they seem, and in this case, c o u l d not have been further from the truth.

PASSION It all started on the P G O u t i n g to C a m b r i d g e last J u l y w h i c h was also attended by the three sabbaticals. T h e Beer Festival.

The punting (with someone falling in). T h e effect was traumatic. F r o m l a g e r a n d lime and FELIX to real ale and passion overnight.

PERSEVERENCE During the autumn term, the fact that F E L I X appeared at all is a great credit to J o h n ' s perseverence a n d dedication. Practically single-handed, often w o r ki ng right through the night at least twice a week, he produced issues of F E L I X to a standard far higher than in previous years, w h i c h was undoubtedly responsible for attracting a n d keeping the high calibre student staff he has been blessed with for the last two terms.

FOIBLES But do F E L I X Editors have time for anything else?

Certainly J o h n ' s main preoccupation outside the F E L I X office is spending as m u c h time as possible in the Bot/Zoo Common Room, w h i c h is conveniently situated just three yards away.

A s it approaches ten o'clock there is a definite speeding up of the metabolic rate, a rythmic twitching of the drinking paw, a nervous rolling of the eyes a n d then - w h a m ! He's gone! When the dust clears, o n e is able to follow the well-worn tracks leading direct to the serving hatch, where, in the midst of what appears to be a cataleptic fit, a cup of tea and a caramel wafer are hustled away to be c o n s u m e d with even greater vigour than the day before. O n c e more, calm is restored until just before three o'clock, when the same ritual is repeated. A l t h o u g h now, of course, Mrs Adams's irresistable charm a n d tea-making e x pe r t i se m e a n s that the preliminary drooling is maintained for at least another half-hour. A n d his M u m can't understand why he's started to drink tea after all these years!

While we're on the subject of foibles, J o h n certainly has plenty, and it's difficult to know where to start to describe them.

Perhaps the most obsure foibles relate to the two pictures on this page. T h e Stockpot Restaurant is a rather nice, relatively cheap place to eat not too far from C o l l e g e - just behind Harrods. S o I can't think w h y he'd travel miles to the one near Duke Street ?

C O L D FINGERS It was probably a taste for adventure that induced him to s p e n d a frozen weekend delivering 1500 leaflets in a small seaside town on the East Coast for a political cause that he h a d never expressed a loyalty to, advertising a meeting with the well-known gourmet Clement Freud. When your fingers are that cold, and y o u get them trapped in that many vicious letterboxes, then I w o u l d have thought you'd never want to see the place again. Not a bit of it. Back the next weekend for an encounter with the man himself, a n d more frozen fingers.

Ecstasy!

MORE FOIBLES

FROGS

The s e c o n d most obscure foible relates to the model (illustrated) - one of many he has built in his spare time - of what is purported to be a nucleotide (fundamental building block of D N A ) of quite peculiar stereochemical proportions. Not that J o h n is a biologist, but prolonged exposure to complex biological chit-chat over tea twice a day can seriously affect anyone's mental health - and F E L I X Editors are more susceptible than most to any kind of royalty - whether they be Duchesses of D u k e St or not!

New information recently came to light during a close inspection of his native habitat in Bath. It was then that Mary realised where she'd seen those eyes before. Frogs. Lots of them. They stare at each other for hours, them probably remembering the days when he used to catch flies and dangle them on bits of string for their supper. He also used to have a meaningful relationship with a large white rabbit. Used to take it for walkies on a lead.

Into the woods. Say no more.

There's more! He reads dictionaries!

G e o l o g i c a l ones. Physical ones. A n d , y o u guessed it, B i o l o g i c a l ones! But he doesn't stop there. He actually bought a c o p y of an excellent Biology A-level text-book, and started to wade through it from chapter one.

It'll be point quadrats in Beit Q u a d next!

Usually when y o u write a profile of someone, the temptation is to exaggerate.

Fortunately I haven't had to. It's with regret that one realises that J o h n c o u l d e n d up on the traditional straight career ladder along with everyone else leaving all his foibles behind him. That would be a pity.

NO CT URNA L Apart from the P G trip to Cambridge, a lot of interesting things have happened during the year. Like there was the time we decided to go with Roger Stotesbury for a drink in Kew one night. "Are you sure it's q u i c k e r to go to G u n n e r s b u r y S t a t i o n ? " asked J o h n when it was time to go home. We never found it, but had to walk all the way back to College, on the way calling at a C h i n e s e take-away in the Fulham Palace Road w h i c h J o h n assured us did quite excellent nocturnal chips, having often frequented it in the middle of the night.

W h y ? We never did find out, but apparently it's better than Westminster Bridge at o n e in the morning.

He used to go to Barnet a lot, too. Well, it'sa nice place is Barnet - right at the e n d of the Northern Line.

L a s h e d by h a i l on the way d o w n , a n d b l o w n about by strong w i n d s o n the F r i d a y m o r n i n g w h i l e d o i n g a tethered flight for A T V ' s A T V T o d a y ' p r o g r a m m e , the weather looked set.tokeep a l l the balloons on t h e i r trailers for the weekend.

C o m e F r i d a y e v e n i n g the campsite was full of l o n g faced balloonists m u t t e r i n g about the x x x x weather. , , S a t u r d a y d a w n e d , a n d somehow a n o v e r n i g h t m i r a c l e h a d been w r o u g h t . S u m m e r h a d a r r i v e d . T h e w h o l e c a m p rose as one at 5 a m for briefing. A perfect 5 knot N V V w i n d greeted us, a n d b a l l o o n s began to lift off into the blue sky. i *' W h i l e most people were H y i n g only for fun, we h a d a slightly more serious weekend a h e a d . T h e two other U K university b a l l o o n clubs h a d also come to the meet for a p r e a r r a n g e d m a t c h .

East A n g l i a w i t h their b a l l o o n 'Boadicea', and E d i n b u r g h with their giant sized 'James T y l e r ' .

O u r a i m was to w i n the U K Universities Hot A i r Balloon C h a l l e n g e C u p . V e r y fittingly presented by A n g l i a I n d u s t r i a l Gases, the o r i g i n a l owners of o u r b a l l o o n , a n d a subsidiary of B r i t i s h O x y g e n , o u r sponsors.

T h e lirst task was a pilotde c l ar e d goal. H e r e the pilot declares a chosen destination before take o i l , a n d attempts to use the a v a i l a b l e w i n d s to steer himself to his destination. T h e closest to his goal wins.

U E A ' s pilot, M i k e Betts, chose a p u b , the P u e s d o w n I n n , for his target, w h i l e E d i n b u r g h ' s A s m a t K a h n a n d myself thought the winds w o u l d steer us further east.

In the e n d it was U E A ' s b o l d decision that w o n out with E d i n b u r g h second, a n d us last.

N o t a good start

B a c k for breakfast, refuelling, l u n c h a n d t h e n briefing. T h e weather still-,brilliant, we d e c i d e d o n ' a ' H a r e a h d H o u n d s ' for o u r nex^ task. T h i s i n v o l v e d a ' H a r e ' b a l l o o n w h i c h took oil'some time before the three ' h o u n d s ' . T h e idea b e i n g to follow the hare as it d o d g e d Mbout, a n d l a n d as close to h i m as possible.

A somewhat c h a o t i c take off meant i h a t the three balloons were staggered. W E A o i f first, then I C , finally E d i n b u r g h . W i t h the hare jrcsight off to o u r right wc ascended to 7000 ft to get a righth a n d drift, passing o v e r the hare's track a n d c a t c h i n g u p w i t h h i m by using, the faster w i n d s at that a l t i t u d f . But then he was d o w n , a n d a fast descent back to g r o u n d level to ^ r y t o ' l a n d by h i m . T o o late - we were off to his right by some way, E d i n b u r g h took lirst with U E A third.

T h e , day ended with the S t a t u t o r y ' i m b i b i n g of a l c o h o l before r e t i r i n g for a n o t h e r 5 a m briefing on the S u n d a y .

D a w n broke - the sky was oveijcast, but this meant m o r e light winds a n d we a l l flew oll'on a

IC's balloon â&#x20AC;˘nilcan' lifts off.

Judge declared goal: 'The P u e s d o w n I n n ' . U E A were off to the right the w h o l e time, but it took some low H y i n g to open u p a mile gap to shake o i l E d i n b u r g h .

T h i s d i d the trick, a n d as we floated less t h a n 100 It from the I n n we thought we h a d it made but p o w e r lines a n d fields full of c o r n p r e c l u d e d a l a n d i n g for a n o t h e r m i l e , we finally l a n d e d to take first place by only a fewh u n d r e d metres.

T h e c u p has now been brought back to I C as it is the first time we have c o m p e t e d for it - a n d n o b o d y else w a n t e d to

c l e a n it.

T h e last llight of the weekend was spent e n t e r t a i n i n g visitors to S u d e l e y C a s t l e , H y i n g three more of our members.

REVIEWSI 'Back to the Egg' - Wings It's strange that the word 'album' should be used to d e s c r i b e L P records. Normally, the w o r d refers to a c o l l e c t i o n , a g r o u p of things with a c o m m o n theme - 1,238 pictures of A u n t i e M a r g i e on B l a c k p o o l Pier every s u m m e r s i n c e 1949. With records, however, it's often i m p o s s i b l e to regard t h e m as a n y t h i n g but 10 s o n g s c o i n c i d e n t a l l y on the s a m e d i s c . S o it is with this 'album'.

Wings, unde r P a u l M c C a r t n e y , have always p r o d u c e d very varied records - the sheer range of s o n g s is impressive - but on this new c o l l e c t i o n it w o u l d s e e m that M c C a r t n e y has lost his way. Not only are the songs almost c o n f u s i n g l y varied in p a c e a n d style, but many hark back (or across) to s o m e other W i n g s

A few weeks ago the ' O l d G r e y W h i s t l e T e s t ' d i d a short feature on R i c k i e L e e J o n e s , s h o w i n g a wonderfully produced prom o t i o n a l film of herself w a l k i n g around town and peforming with her b a n d . T o g e t h e r the film a n d the p a i r of songs stirred up enough interest that the release of the single d i d not go unnoticed (although I C R a d i o were u n a b l e to play it) a n d the single ' C h u c k E's i n L o v e ' persuaded me to go out a n d get a copy of the a l b u m .

A l t h o u g h I d i d not k n o w quite what to expect I fell in love w i t h the a l b u m right away.

T h i s g i r l , c o m i n g from the same b a c k g r o u n d as the Eagles, Steve M i l l e r a n d s i m i l a r West Coast M u s i c i a n s , has c o m e out w i t h a style of her o w n , v i r t u a l l y s i n g i n g the Blues.

J O H N OTWAY Where did I go Right (Polydor) John Otway has had a reputation as a real head case.

W e l l forget that, b e c a u s e on this s h o w i n g he's c a l m e d d o w n so m u c h that even C l e m e n t F r e u d s e e m s lively in c o m p a r i s o n . T h e m u s i c has always been pretty basic, but the lyrics of the O t w a y W i l d Willy Barrett d u o easily o v e r c o m p e n s a t e d . T h i n k i n g back to the c l a s s i c s , 'Really Free', ' J o s e p h i n e ' a n d ' B e w a r e of the F l o w e r s ' (for e x a m p l e ) , all had a m u s i n g , interesting a n d very a c c e s s i b l e story lines What we have here is b l a n d m u s i c a n d lyrics that are either b o r i n g a n d c l i c h e d or just plain unintelligible.

o pus . (Is the title ' B a c k to the E g g ' a clue??)

H a v i n g s a i d all that, I must a d d that the m u s i c is very g o o d , a n d I like the r e c o r d very m u c h indeed.

T h e r e are, of course, the weak points - for instance, on how many records have y o u heard the o l d trick of t u n i n g a radio into a s o n g w h i c h just h a p p e n s to be the next on the r e c o r d ? If this trick a n n o y s y o u (and it certainly d o e s me), then try a n d avoid track 1, side 1, 'Reception'. Not an a u s p i c i o u s start - the m u s i c itself is fine, but w h y o h w h y t h r o w in the effects?

F r o m there on in, y o u have to keep y o u r wits about y o u . T h e next s o n g ' G e t t i n g C l o s e r ', is a g o o d W i n g s soft-rocker, followed q u i c k l y by a t y p i c a l M c C a r t n e y ballad-style c r o o n e r , 'We're o p e n tonight'.

Then headlong and

In one way the music sounds disjointed, t h o u g h disjointed maybe inaccurate, there is a coherency about it, yet each note from each instrument seems to have been i n d i v i d u a l l y p l a c e d , often only seeming to b l e n d together, w h e n strung together w i t h the singing.

She has a l r e a d y been c o m p a r e d w i t h Springsteen, a n d perhaps the lyrics do have some q u a l i t y i n c o m m o n w i t h some of his, yet this a l b u m is infinitely more r e l a x i n g , the vocals more c o n t r o l l e d , more c o m p e l l i n g listening a n d she is certainly prettier.

T h e closest c o m p a r i s o n must be, a n d I don't m e a n to be too rude, Merrie Wilson.

RLJ manages to give the same personal feel to a song, in the breathy loose way the lyrics r o l l olf her tongue.

' W h e r e d i d I go right,' asks Otway.

Let's face it, J o h n , y o u ' r e not fooling a n y o n e .

Yet the a l b u m title s u m s up the O t w a y spirt; a c r o s s between c o n f i d e n c e (I have s u c c e e d e d ) a n d anarchical self-destruction (despite all m y efforts to the c o n t r a r y , I have succeeded), w h i c h has in the past w o r k e d but in this case flounders.

R e d e e m i n g features? W e l l the p r o d u c t i o n of Neil Innes (of Bonzo Dog B a n d and Monty P y t h o n fame) is excellent, so at least every track has a fighting c h a n c e , but s o m e h o w s o m e t h i n g always pulls it d o w n . T h e c l i c h e s , the painfully o l d - f a s h i o n e d m u s i c or just the fact that the s o n g is no

h e a d b a n g into the fast a n d furious ' S p i n it o n ' - almost N e w Wave, this. S e e what I m e a n about variety? A n d we're o n l y halfway t h r o u g h side 1.

T h e slightly w o r r y i n g t h i n g about it all is; a lot of it has been d o n e before - by M c C a r t n e y himself. P h r a s e s that I have just used, like ' - a t y p i c a l Wings...' are the give-away. M a k e no mistake, they're all g o o d , but then they were w h e n he d i d t h e m the first time.

A slight c h a n g e c o m e s with 2 of the tracks o n side 2, featuring the famed ' R o c k e s t r a ' . I'm sure y o u remember last s u m m e r , a n d the dark mutterings about the g r e a t e s t c o l l e c t i o n of Rock m u s i c i a n s ...' a n d s o o n - all s u p p o s e d l y r e c o r d i n g together for M c C a r t n e y . T h e fruits of these

g o o d . But back at the g o o d bits: urn, there aren't any more. What this a l b u m d o e s have is three g o o d tracks but that's hardly a r e c o m m e n d a t i o n to buy.

A l l the s o n g s on the L P , w h i c h i n c i d e n t l y lasts all of thirty five minutes, are written by Otway, e x c e p t 'The Highwayman', a s u p e r b adaptation of a p o e m by A l f r e d N o y e s , w h i c h is far a n d away the best track, a n d it's not even recent material. S y n t h e s i s e d wind, a t m o s p h e r i c o r g a n m u s i c and Otway's c u r i o u s v o c a l style all lend themselves to the fine rendition. T h e o p e n i n g n u m b e r , ' M a k e s g o o d m u s i c ' , provides a s o l i d f o u n d a t i o n for the a l b u m , the infectious r h y t h m of this s e m i autobiographical song blending

S o what are the c o n c l u s i o n s ?

Well, W i n g s are m a r k i n g time with this one. It's g o o d , a n d will find its way into the c o l l e c t i o n s of all M c C a r t n e y devotees, and a few others too. A n d by the way, my favourite s o n g is 'After the B a l l ' - it s o u n d s just like ' A m a z i n g G r a c e ' .

O h what a give-away ...

Simon Milner

T h e r e are two tracks w o r t h s i n g l i n g out f r o m the rest. O n e , the single ' C h u c k E's in L o v e ' gives a good s t a n d a r d for assessing the rest of the a l b u m , a l t h o u g h it is perhaps a little m o r e catchy a n d irresistable t h a n most tracks it relies on a slow rhythm s t r u m m e d out on guitar, w i t h a slightly unimaginative drum section, b a c k i n g u p R L J s i n g i n g u p front.

The musicianship of the b a c k i n g b a n d seems to be quietlycompetent whilst d o i n g little else but a c c e n t u a t i n g the vocals, u n t i l it gets p u s h e d to the front, as in ' Y o u n g B l o o d ' especially when the music becomes a lot tighter a n d the sound gets m u c h more exciting instrumentally.

If y o u ' r e one of those p e o p l e that read a lot into the L y r i c s of a song y o u m a y be d i s a p p o i n t e d w i t h these: a l t h o u g h at first sight they a p p e a r to be t r y i n g to say a lot, u p o n closer inspection they become casual observations rather than constructive c o m m e n t s on a n y t h i n g . R i c k i e Le e J o n e s sometimes sings in such a way that words arc barelyd i s t i n g u i s h a b l e a n d are more i m p o r t a n t for the m o o d a n d tone i n w h i c h they are such t h a n for their content.

s e s s i o n s are on s i d e 2 - the ' R o c k e s t r a T h e m e ' a n d 'So g l a d to see y o u here'. So, if y o u ' v e always wanted to hear the s o u n d of 5 guitarists, 3 d r u m m e r s , 4 bassists, 3 pianists, 2 ' k e y b o a r d ' players, 4 percussionists (non-drummers?), and 4 H o r n players all s l o g g i n g away together, t h e n this is for y o u .

This c o m b i n a t i o n has limited interest - give me a s p o o n s a n d c o m b duet any day.

Also, 'Danny's A l l Star J o i n t ' bringing back memories of 'Telephone M a n ' by Merrie W i l s o n , - w h i c h if y o u c a n u n d e r s t a n d a l l the American slang stands out as the strongest track o n the a l b u m , here R L J moves m u c h more towards jazz t h a n o n a n y of the other tracks.

So il y o u ' r e looking for ^something a little l a i d back to relax to I'd go as far as r e c o m m e n d i n g this.

neatly with the vocals. 'What better time t h a n n o w to take a look at y o u r life,' Otway sings, 'guess y o u never got n o t h i n g right.'

T h e o n l y other track worth an h o n o u r a b l e m e n t i o n is ' B l u e E y e s of the Belle', a slow, graceful s o n g of y o u n g love a n d marital loyalty; 'their's w a s a love that c o u l d never be' - t y p e s l u s h - but it w o r k s .

T h e current single, ' F r i g h t e n e d a n d S c a r e d ' , is so n o n d e s c r i p t that I c o u l d n ' t even r e m e m b e r w h i c h track it was after I first heard the a l b u m . B u t then the w h o l e t h i n g is like that - stark, sometimes p u r p o s e l y so, with little relief. In fact I actually fell asleep listening to the first side, so I s u p p o s e it may p i c k up on the i, i n s o m n i a c ' s market iâ&#x20AC;&#x17E;â&#x20AC;&#x17E; C
