We've now reached the 40th act to have both a number 1 and a number 40 to their name. This was the Top 40 debut for the group and was once a debut hits question on Popmaster so either this record isn't that obscure or it was a really harsh question.
The Wonder Stuff are perhaps more regarded as an early 90s group than an 80s one. What surprises me though is how few people I know actually remember The Wonder Stuff. They had a number one with "Dizzy" with Vic Reeves and had what I consider well known hits with "The Size Of A Cow" and "Welcome To The Cheap Seats" which both made the Top 10.
This record was the only Top 40 hit from their debut album "The Eight Legged Groove Machine". They were one of the 3 big groups of the era from Stourbridge, a small town in the West Midlands. The other 2 were Pop Will Eat Itself and Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
