The History Of Pop Part 13 AKA Acieeeed! Acieeeeed!

Our friends at Now squeeze the lemon of 1988 for one final time in a compilation perhaps most notable for the sequencers allowing their granite mask to slip for a DO YOU SEE moment at the end of disc 2. To my eyes few golden greats but a melange of covers, ill-judged revivals, former Go-Gos, new boy bands, big hippie goths, lip-synchers, blondes, thick accents and Level 42 that should at least provide fertile comments box mulch.

Now 12 saw Salt N Pepa and S Express run neck and neck for a good 25 votes until "Push It" pulled ahead. Tiffany and the Timelords close behind, Sabrina beaten by Morrissey. Glen M and "the Wets" (o horror) fighting it out for worst. Lu Cont vs The Beatles? Tomorrow Never Knows, Hey Jude, ROCKTOPUS' Garden, Free as An Bird. Oh dearie.

Yeah, me too. Always annoying. Low-key, slightly whingy 'soulful' ballad thi--GETOUTGETOUT.

Wee Papa Girl Rappers though. Have just put that on (aged top 40 cassette)and my god is it good.

Wee Papa Girl Rappers never put a foot wrong, by virtue of having only released three or four singles (inc. a cover of 'Uptown Top Ranking' or did i dream that?) and they all being rather good.

Their LP - The Beat, The Rhyme, The Noise - is awesome too.

I don't remember any cover of 'UTR' tho.
