The Wonder Stuff Wonderstuff thread

[soundofthenorth]

surely someone's a fan of this band on here with a handful of lps and a string of singles, the wonderstuff are one of the best "britpop" indie rock bands around. i use to get these guys mixed up with the levellers all the time. i can always remember looking through hmv's levellers discography looking for size of a cow since then ive acquired alot of albums and a few singles & seen them live twice.
but i am still missing alot of the singles & rarites stuff out there. any help with b-sides & rare would be much appreciated . i will be posting what i find here. enjoy!

try them you might like them!!!

 

[smiffy]

8LGM is one of my fave albums of all time, but all the rest was so, so so.....

 

[dcn]

They have since re-recorded Groove Machine and Hup!. Very similar but some tracks have a different pace and/or sound. Good stuff. They are one of my top 5 (maybe 3) fave bands.

 

[Razorblade]

Surely someone else will agree, the Stuffies in their prime were on the Beatles/Jam/Blur level of pop greatness!

 

[Shipwrecked Escapologist]

I'm a fan. I watched them at Glastonbury lasy year at the Avalon stage why the whole world was watching bruce Springsteen. They did a greatest hits set and were tremendous. Note they are the support on The Levellers tour for early 2011- that sounds like a decent night out !

Hi soundofthenorth,

whenever I have time, I'll post the missing tracks you¡re looking for. I'm missing some tracks too, so it'd be a good chance to ask for some help...

Cheers from cold Spain,

Javier

[nightingale+therose]

The Wonder Stuff was the first band i ever saw live. It was the Groove Machine tour (1989) and The Bass Thing was still with us... they were supported by Mega City Four and Jesus Jones (Mike Edward sold me a t-shirt at the gig).
I've always loved The Stuffies and have several embarrassing tales to tell of meeting Miles (that will go with me to my grave).

The CD's i have and can place on a fileshare system if given instruction on how to do so, are:

Original recording of The Groove Machine
Original recording of Hup
Original recording of Construction for the modern idiot
It's yer money i'm after baby (Astley in the noose; Ooh, she said; Rave from the grave)
Unbearable Pink (Ten trenches deep; I am a monster; Frank)
Unbearable Yellow(Inside you; Hit by a car)
Hot love now (Just helicopters; I think i must've had something really useful to say; Room 512, All the news that's fit to print)
5 track ep (Ooh, Ooh, Aah, Aah; + other songs - can't find CD right now cause Mr Nightie has de-alphabetised my CD's)

Sorry, i can't upload records - but i have no record player. If anyone needs anything... let me know how to upload them!

PS: Hunt still tours regularly with Erica Nockalls. he toured with Wayne Hussey recently too... all that on top of touring The Groove Machine then Hup with the remaining Stuffies!!
