MEDIA: Reviews: "Fair Game", The Sports
Record of the Week
from New Musical Express, 9-7-77
This was sent in by a fan in Melbourne, Australia and blimey it is ace. If you
got crooked by AC/DC, The Saints and Frank Ifield don't think that all the
bands downunder are out of date. Steve Cummings out-Jaggers Jagger and nearly
matches Lowell too, I kid you not. Featish slide from Ed Bates, touch perfect
keyboards from Jim Niven, and a fair dinkum rhythm section courtesy of Paul
Hitchins and Robert Glover. You can tell where they're coming from but so
what. The Sports are a gen-u-wine rock'n'roll discovery. Move spheres to get
this.
