Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer hit the big screen early in the 3-D craze, in a much tamed-down adaptation. The camera legend John Alton handled the lighting and likely called the shots on the camera setups as well. As a detective noir it’s definitely flat-footed, with a bum script, weak direction and a miscast Biff Elliot as the vengeful tough-guy hero. But compensating are the seductive Dran Hamilton, Margaret Sheridan and especially Peggie Castle — the key ‘dame’ in the pulp fiction finale. The United Artists release has been mostly Mia for decades,and this release presents it three ways: flat in both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, plus a beautiful restored 3-D Blu-ray encoding.

Now, you might remember these from the previous review I did of the lead single off this album, though of course you might not, you might not have even read said review. Either way, here we are, again or for the first time, it’s Billy Vincent. This time, it’s personal. This time, it’s full length.
For those unfamiliar, and those despicable sorts who didn’t read that previous review, then here’s a bit of back story for you, just in case you haven’t been arsed to click that link and follow through. Billy Vincent mostly stem from the basis of their two frontmen, one named Billy Barratt and the other David Vincent, but beyond that they’re more than a duo, they’re a group; a group with a keen ear for some emotionally impactive and almost pop-like folk music.

Billy Barratt and David Vincent co-front a band. That band is called Billy Vincent. Their debut album She is set for release in April. What we have here is the debut single from that album which goes by the name of Bottle Top, and it’s backed by b side track The Raleigh Burner Song.
So, they’re not great with naming things, but that’s ok. Where they appear to be putting all that excess effort, that would otherwise go into naming things, is into crafting quietly poignant folk songs.
The first of the pair is just that; a delicate love song backed by modern folk accompaniment, that rises and falls as it swells all the way through. It’s a subtle and emotional grower, though the chorus is instantly infectious.
