The Nightingales - What A Carry On (Vindaloo)

Robert Lloyd and his merry men return to brighten the day, with their own quirky pop music. Pete and Andy's guitars criss-cross and crunch through an EP which emphasises the Nightingales' claim to the 'quiet men of indie music' crown. While others shout and stamp their leather feet, the Nightingales continue to make excellently eccentric music. Rob Lloyd's lyrics are there to be marvelled at as well. Carry on indeed. (Andy Strickland, Record Mirror, October 12, 1985)

The Nightingales - It's A Cracker (Vindaloo)

This has ribtickling, deep vocals of the sort Pete Burns has recently been toying with in that risquely provocative fashion of his. Add a jangly acoustic backing rather than a spruced and shiny electric one and you have a cracker. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, March 16, 1985)
