Notes

This brief review appeared in the The Age, Melbourne, on July 6, 1990:

'No Such Thing' is my pick of the two songs on Steve Kilbey's double-A sided single (the flip side is Transaction). Kilbey has established his reputation singing for The Church and the vocals and guitar sounds are familiar — but this song is no Church clone. While the punchy drum effects make it sound right state-of-the-art, before you know it, Kilbey has hit you with a Hey Jude-like finale (but shorter).
