"MIGAWD, what do they feed em down in Hull, anyway?
There's this kid up on the stage, looking all scholarly and
bespectacled like some accounts clerk having a bop at a pub, 
and he's cradling his black Les Paul in his hands and playing it 
fierce. His name is Professor Sutton, and he's standing there
next to Keef Hatley's drum kit playing lead for Michael Chapman."

Charles Shaar Murray
NME Magazine
June 8 1974 




"I caught them at a recent marquee gig and the sound was very far 
removed from  anything heard from Chapman before. The feel certainly 
was more electric and the guitar exchange between Mike and Sutton, 
at times reaching certain highs, the likes of which the old Marquee
hasn't heard in a long while."
Ray Telford 
June 1 1974


"JACKAL: The Year Of The Tiger (BASF). Pounding beat and the voice 
coming, menacingly, from the bottom of a drain, of possible an echo-chamber. 
Its actually a rather exciting piece of pop, and could pick up sales."  

Records & Radio Mirror 
July 27 1974
