BRITISH ELECTRIC FOUNDATION - Music of Quality and Distinction, Volume 1

LP Virgin Records 1982
CD reissue Ten Records 1991




"Music of Quality and Distinction, B.E.F.'s first venture into pop experimentation, brings in a number of interesting people (including Tina Turner, Gary Glitter, Sandie Shaw and Paul Jones) to perform cover versions of well-known and not-so-well-known oldies, from These Boots Are Made for Walking and Wichita Lineman to David Bowie's The Secret Life of Arabia and Lou Reed's Perfect Day. Older songs hold up better under this treatment than new ones but, overall, choices of singers and musicians are on the mark. Despite any social implications (or lack thereof), a good time".
(Steven Grant, Trouser Press)
