*JP - "Well that's a band described in the NME Book Of Modern Music as 'The most flamboyant, cosmetically-assisted bunch of poseurs this side of the New York Dolls. Their image is so over the top that they're almost entertaining. Lovers of heavy metal onslaught and visually-dynamic teen fantasy fodder have a rare treat in store. They clobber sensitivity but define difference.' Well they've done a considerable volte face with this their second LP, the first was Adolescent Sex and this one's called Obscure Alternatives and the band of course are Japan and from the LP that was 'The Tenant' and I shall play you more from the album too, perhaps on tomorrow night's programme, perhaps later on in the week, I'm not sure exactly when. Anyway after Japan, we have Big In Japan." 3
