SNACK ATTACK

This 45 rpm 12" single claims to be an extended version of Snack Attack frim "Ismism" (or "Snack Attack", depending on where you bought it). Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two versions. But then again, it doesn't hold my interest long enough anyway. This mildly humorous rap piece is an homage to overeating. And not very funny either. But it has some good sax playing by Bimbo Acock.

The second side starts with Strange Apparatus (An Englishman In New York). This is a very good track, but can be found other, better albums.

The real reason to own this single is the rare track Wide Boy. This power pop song was originally only available as a 45, on a hard to find single, and on this release.

In more recent years, it has been included on G&C's compilation "Images".

That relegates this to 2 stars.
