5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Album from a unique band, June 27, 2003
By 
Keith Faulkner (London, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strawberry Switchblade (Audio CD)
Back in 1985 when this came out I played this album continually and now I have the CD nothing's changed!
Every track is a favourite for me - Rose McDowall's vocals always move me and Jill contributed just as much to the bands sound.
Of the extra tracks I especially like the extended mix of Who Knows What Love Is? and their cover of Jolene.
Play this album and I promise you will play it again. Strawberry Switchblade made one album - its beautiful and perfect and stands out from its contempories as much as the girls did from theirs.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would give it 10 STARS if I could..., November 19, 2001
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strawberry Switchblade (Audio CD)
My only critism of this CD, is that it did not include the original version of 'Go away'. Then again, maybe that one should have been include on the 12" CD release. The recording quality is second to none. They used the original cover of the first released vynil, so none of the bonus tracks are on the back cover track listings. This is made up by the pull out bilingual sleeve and includes lyrics too! These songs are just as fresh today as they were in 1985. A testiment to the timelessness of the quality of Rose McDowall and Jill Bryson's superb musical skill and insights. Most would catagorize this "PopGothic", but it is more than just an inane label. It's ART and it sould be comtemplated and pondered upon as such. My favorite tracks? All of them and the album should be listened to as one set piece and judged as such.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential collection of wonderful pop, October 11, 2000
By 
This review is from: Strawberry Switchblade (Audio CD)
I listened to a lot of "new wave" in the early 1980s but Strawberry Switchblade is the only group I still listen to now - their mix of wistful, sometimes melancholy pop still sounds fresh 15 years later. The sound is mostly keyboards/synths with drums, but also with nice touches from horns, strings, and woodwinds. This collection has their entire debut album plus various B-sides and later singles; it only seems to be missing the B-sides "By the Sea" and "Sunday Morning". And the liner notes have all the lyrics (in both English and Japanese)!!
