• Entendres don't come much more double than "Oh, baby, let me bang your door," and Charlie Ainley sounds appropriately urgent on the title track to this album. Elsewhere, he calms down a bit, but on the whole, this is a collection of tuneful rock in a relatively unadorned, neo-'50s style. It's not particularly distinctive, however, and that may be why it went unnoticed when it was released at the height of the new wave craze. - William Ruhlmann
