St Mark's break- in sparks worry
by Robin Perris & John Rigby I Mark's flats were broken into last Sweekend and a number of students had possessions stolen. Moira Kennedy, a 3rd year student, went to the Polytechnic on Saturday night and returned to find that her room had been broken into. The win- dow had been forced and her stereo and car keys had been stolen. The other rooms in the flat had also been burgled and another stereo and a camera were taken. The folowing day the police were called in, and it was ascertained that the window had been forced and a ladder used for entry and exit. Moira told Leeds Student: "Because St. Mark's is the most expensive set of University flats we are given the impres- sion that it has the best securi- • Sr. Mark's flats ty.

YAZZ: Wanted (Big Life) Review by Boris Pasternak
She's a big lass, is Yazz. In fact she's about seven feet three tall in her stocking feet, which is why we only just manag- ed to get a picture of her onto this page. If she's been standing up straight then goodness knows what we'd have had to do. And goodness knows what one should do with her debut album Wanted. It's been touted as an unashamedly British dance album drawing together the many and varied strings of house and disco and hi-NRG and whatnot . it's got all the right connections, with ColdCut, The Beat- masters and the Fon Force of Funky Worm fame pushing the faders and spinning the tapes . . . and with a large picture it looks pretty nice too. But the sad fast is that apart from the singles you already know, precious little of this collection actually cuts the mustard. A goodly portion of Wanted consists of flac- cid pseudo-acidic lovers' soul stuff with neither 'The Only way Is Up's' relentless disco positivism nor the soulgirl wit that makes 'Stand Up For Your Love Rights.' Produced in the main — he notes with horror — by the grizzled Youth, variously of Killing Joke, Brilliant and The J.A.M.s, Wanted is hardly the sort of thing one wants to associate with the supposed burgeoning groundshell of new British dance sounds. Largely because you can't bleeding dance to most of it. And as for the sprinkling of super- ficially 'caring' lyrics that cover this wearying platter like dandruff . . . Well Yazz may well be after a reputation as a Real Musician rather than a suave ex-model with twelve foot long legs and an unconventional but none- theless captivating beauty, but she's better let someone else write her lyrics. It ever a debut album proved thoroughly, eye- wateringly disappoin- ting then it's Wanted. If the Funky Worm's LP falls as flat as this then I think probably die.
