Format:Audio CD
This is the ultimate sunny pop record! I have been collecting music for over twenty years and this CD from my Junior High years still impresses and delights! This re-release contains the original album and bonus remixes and B-sides all in one place! The "Pelican West" CD is full of classic Summery pop hits like "Favourite Shirts", "Love Plus One", and "Fantastic Day". All bright shiny tunes. The CD is highlighted also by single worthy tracks like "Surprise Me Again", "Snow Girl", and "Loves Got Me In Triangles". Bonus tracks include the 12" mix to "Favourite Shirts", the non-album single "Nobody's Fool" (the 12" remix version) and Bsides like "Boat Party" (B side to "Favourite Shirts", "Ski Club" (B side to Fantastic Day", and "October Is Orange" (B side to "Nobody's Fool") Everyone should own a copy of this classic, if you enjoy this you'd be advised to check out Haircut 100's lead singer Nick Heyward's solo re-release set "North Of A Miracle" equally as good!

By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
"Pelican West" was the only album issued by the original Haircut 100 line-up before Nick Heyward left to pursue a solo career. It reached number 2 in the UK album charts in 1982 and included the hit singles 'Favourite Shirts', 'Love Plus One' and 'Fantastic Day'. The band were fairly unique at the time for displaying their 60's pop influences at a time when this was not fashionable. Their jangly guitar sound coupled with a distinctive 80's production still stands up today and there is a bonafide nugget in 'Surprise Me Again' which is worth the price of admission alone.

As with the reissue of Nick's solo album "North Of A Miracle" this package is not without it's flaws. The cover reproduction is dark and the 7" version of 'Nobody's Fool'(not to mention the demo version originally included with Flexipop magazine) is inexplicably omitted in favour of the 12" version which is already available on Camden's "Greatest Hits". The same criticism can be levelled at the inclusion of the 12" version of 'Favourite Shirts' (although at least the album version is also present) at the expense of unreleased cuts which are referred to in the "Greatest Hits" sleevenotes; the Haircut 100 versions of 'Blue Hat For A Blue Day' and 'Whistle Down The Wind' along with the lost single 'Sunny Boy, Sunny Girl'.

These problems aside it is great to see this album available again, chock-full as it is of some true pop gems.

Perfect Pop 26 Feb 2008
Format:Audio CD
I can't recommend this album enough if you're looking for a healthy slice of sunny 80's pop.
Far from being just a throwaway boy band, what strikes me most about this album, particularly listening to it now in glorious digital is the strength of musicianship, particularly on tracks like Lemon Firebrigade, Milk Film and Favourite Shirts. I would go so far to say that some of it is exquisite.
This CD is certainly a bargain as it includes two B-sides, a later single and a (horrible) remix of Favourite Shirts. Sadly, purely from a fan's perspective, what it doesn't include are the original 12" versions of Love Plus One, Marine Boy Fantastic Day and Favourite Shirts (all more superior than the album versions) and still unavailable elsewhere. Haircut 100 burned very brightly very quickly and this CD captures them at their finest.
