Oh. My. God. Look at that cover. Fucking iconic. Brett was really looking forward to this installment and now it's finally here in vivid red, we're almost bowled over by its minimalist magnificence, a slice of uber-effective graphic design and accidental crudity that has more power than probably Tim Wheeler's entire collection of amps. The "song" on this dreadful waste of plastic - 'Ichiban' - ("It sounds like fucking Rancid or summat!" exclaims professional Yorkshireman Brett) is beyond the pale, probably pretty catchy but ultimately quite awful. We've another 2-score installments of this preposterous scheme to suffer, this is probably the last one we'll review. If you're an Ash fan & would like to hire any of us to review your 'Alphabet' single of choice, please contact us in the usual fashion. Aroma: cold chips, baby sick.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
