Ivor does the singles!

Yes, it's Mr. Cutler - fixture of the Underground, a regular on Peel, friend to the hippies and the rockers - despite being a member of the Noise Abatement Society and a foe of amplification. So someone at Melody Maker in 1971 thought it would be funny to get him to review the singles - or rather a select (and rather interesting) handful. Actually looking closer, it's not actually singles - it's tracks from albums (as if Nico would have a single off of Desertshore!). So it's more like The Wire's Invisible Jukebox column. Except that instead of the choices connecting to the artist's own music and taste in revealing ways, this is all things he has little sympathy for. The only commonality is the fact that he and Nico play the harmonium. Still, it's not all negative - he finds some nice things to say about some of the things played.
