PEOPLE will either love or hate The Puppini Sisters' debut album, Betcha Bottom Dollar. What the Mediaeval Baebes do with early music and the Opera Babes do with, well, opera, the Puppinis do with songs from the 1940s by the likes of the Andrews Sisters.

The album is given an old-style look with the trio dressed to the nines, complete with glossy lipstick.

It starts with classic songs from the period - Sisters, Mr Sandman and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and ends with a cover of Glenn Miller's signature tune, In The Mood.

On these the girls - Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins and Stephanie O'Brien - really show they have great voices, especially on Falling In Love Again where there is no instrumental backing.

There's no case of having The One Who Can Sing and the rest. The trio studied at Greenwich's Trinity College of Music and it shows.

Their skills are best seen when the album steps away from 40s songs and covers more modern classics.

There is a very jazzy version of 70s classic Wuthering Heights by Bexleyheath's own Kate Bush. The singers' diction and the superbly clear recording allow you to hear the lyrics for the first time.

On the Gloria Gaynor song I Will Survive, there's an Ennio Morricone-style soaring female vocal.

There is also a take on The Smith's Panic. Great stuff, but what Morrissey will think of it, heaven knows.

It's that sort of album. People will love it or hate it. I love it.

Will it be a hit? You can Betcha Bottom Dollar.
