Rychard Carrington reviews reissues of four 1980s albums by Cambridgeshire heroes Kimberley Rew and Katrina And The Waves:

'While The Bible Of Bop is classy and relatively quirky, with potent guitar and uncommanding vocals from Kim, it suffers from an early 80s up-tempo brittleness. On Shock Horror, however, The Waves were already flowing nicely, with Kim no longer tentative in displaying his sixties influences.

The Waves hit the shore with a quasi-1966 fresh energy that one can't help but enjoy.'
