Poppa Joe Single Review: 1972
Melody Maker, January 22, 1972 . NEW POP SINGLES BY CHRIS WELCH SLADE: "Look Wot You Dun" (Polydor).

He is probing through sheaves of documents. Good grief, it's the income tax inspector! Swill those cups! Relying on intuition and a strange twinge in the right toe, I'd say, ahoy for another smash.
