I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform their hearts out for about 40 people at Bogart's in Long Beach. I was blown away that night, and I still am. This is a great fucking album

[alfredolopes]

Devoto's voice and Noko's guitar sound is a match made in heaven.

[rodneykingston]

Stunning. Brilliant. Breathtaking. An unjustly forgotten classic.

This album is still one of the five best I know. It breathes an unusually intense blend of vulnerability, desperate desire and romantic refusal. Although I may still only get a fraction of all references and maybe misinterpret whole tracks, it's a soundtrack that brings me back to my teens. Am I stupid?

[spensert]

One of the best produced albums and amazingly inventive it stands on its own next to ol magazine.

[nickmyers]

still hits me somewhere deep down like the first time I heard it.

[spensert]

This record is so brilliant and the production is absolutely amazing.

"If I meet you at the fountainhead I'll win you downstream" why does that move me so completely, almost to tears? Of course the rest of the song does too, but that I understand why... hmmrgh

[sistaraquadivina]

was a punk in the 1970s .1st time hearing Howard in this band. wow . a god is he

[FENBASS]

Brilliant track ❤️Howard, musical genius

[PrincePurple]

That guy Noko makes this whole song and video. He's got a good rock look, his guitar is unique (an Ovation Deacon or Breadwinner?), his background vocal spots are brilliant, and his lead guitar breaks have the greatest tone from a guitar I've ever heard. Pure bite, but thick, not trebly.

[marinaprudencio]

Such a brilliant video. So simple, yet neatly and creatively directed and overall well-rounded, fitting Devoto's performance like a glove. And great music.

[fastcakes]

One of the most underrated indie tunes ever.

[neilsavage]

One of my all time favourite vinyls by one of my all time favourite dudes - HD.

[jonathansutcliffe]

sat in a room with a green tv a screen... talkin about this man and his penchant for leaving groups during perceived stardom

[stevewilson]

Love Apollo 440. And this is very cool. Sounds like new wave. Noko later played guitar for @440 and Devoto took part in songwriting on @440's first album.

[stevemcgrath]

Brilliant! Still love this and still have the album in vinyl.

[grahamburns]

Top single, I remember having the first album in a unique brown paper bag...

[chrislong]

Great tune - got the 7 inch fold out poster version

[djezek]

two of the best parts of the song aren't in the video. the stanza that ends 'watch me bite on a bullet and spit out a limousine' and the end, where the guitar sound changes and Devoto muses 'i simply may be evil' and makes you wonder if you misunderstood the whole song.
