"Simon Ritchie: 'Squeezebox Schizophrenia' (X-Tradition Records TMM 1956, Goldens Farm, Boyton End, Thaxted, Essex CM6 2RB or phone 01371 830804)

If you are expecting a traditional melodeon album when you hear this CD, you are in for a surprise. Simon Ritchie plays and sings hits from the 60s 70s and 80s as well as traditional, classical and self composed tunes.

The standard of the playing is amazing. He manages to do things with the instrument that are above and beyond the call of duty. Simon's voice is very reminiscent of traditional gypsy singers, so it takes some getting used to hearing songs like the Sex Pistols' Anarchy In the U.K. with melodeon accompaniment. Having said that, Move Over Darling and I Wanna Hold Your Hand fit like a glove. "
