Not the most potent cut from the band's "Talk Talk Talk" album, but probably one that's melodic enough to bring a little trade into the furriers. More interesting is the flip on which Rhett Butler growls'the lyrics of the 53 year-old "Mack The Knife" without apparently touching upon any of Kurt Weill's original melody. But, strangely enough, Butler's menacing interpretation makes more sense than Bobby Darin's hip 1959 chart do{Tlinator. SECOND IMAGE: (Get Your Finger Out) Pinpoint The Feeling (Polydor). Cool-breeze harmony vocals, a brass-section that clips the edges, street-whistles and a guitarist that seemingly clucks along.

SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES: Spellbound (Polydor). A winner despite Siouxsie's arch vocals, now all part of the rent-an-actress scene foisted on an gullible public, brain-numbed by TV commercials and memories of "Rock Follies". Compensation comes in the form of an enthralling 12-string gallop that encompasses high hurdles and water-jumps, keeping listeners on the edge of their shooting sticks till the post is reached. Sorta spellbound, in factl TYGERS OF PAN TANG: Don't Stop By (MCA). Here's a good sign - a heavy metal mob using dynamics instead of just keeping the db's high. The lead vocal comes strong and sinewy too but the material is just run of the iron foundry and lacking in character. Someone should put a sign in the window stating 'Outside help required on songwriting'. Who knows? Maybe even Russ Ballard could turn up. GRAHAM BONNET: Liar (Vertigo). Speak of the devil and ... So here's the aforementioned Ballard R. providing a song for Graham Bonnet, who's been in the business long enough to know a winner when he hears it. Mind you, he heard this one a long time ago; in 1968, in fact, when Three Dog Night took it up the U.S. charts.
