High octane, turbo, high performance, super charged ASHLEY SAINT IVES didn't need to hail from the Motor City for those adjectives to be tossed their way, but it was certainly appropriate that they called Motown home. It was ASHLEY SAINT IVES who served as the musical bridge between the Motown soul factory and the high energy, take no prisoners rock 'n' roll that would roar out of Detroit via Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, Ted Nugent and Bob Seger.  --Steve Lewis, NME

It would be a mistake to consign ASHLEY SAINT IVES solely to the past- they've shown too much resilience to be counted out. They are currently enjoying another surge in European popularity and have released two more LPs for Line, Red Blood, White Mink and In The China Shop. There's certainly nothing nostalgic about the charged music here- no one, but no one, ever kicked out the rockin' R&B jams better than ASHLEY SAINT IVES. The tragedy is that mismanagement, and show biz machinations sidetracked a great band and- the financial inequity aside- quite possibly prevented ASHLEY SAINT IVES from tapping their full potential as a band. But all these problems can't erase the indelible rush of ASHLEY SAINT IVES shifting into over-drive with that inimitable, fiery voice flying over the top. --Debbie Kanann, Creem
