Recording information: Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris; Wessex Studios, London. Photographer: Wendy Dancey. The band look magnificent on the cover as they pose with make-up or heavily retouched faces. They look confident, knowing that their follow-up is almost as good as the debut. Chrissie and Ray Davies were stepping out at this time, hence the opening track, "The Adultress," as Hynde whispers her confession over a furious wall of sound, to be immediately followed by her reminder that "Bad Boys Get Spanked." If only Chrissie, if only. The album drives and dives, pausing for "I Go To Sleep," another old Ray Davies song. There is not a bad track in sight. Professional Reviews Uncut (p.110) - "Hynde's smartness and candour are always in evidence....[The album] overflows with energy and romance..."
