About this album

Universal Music International Div. (2001) Released: 15 Jan 2001 19 tracks (52:46)
The Stuffies first full studio album, The Eight Legged Groove Machine was chock full of 3 minute pop gems. ‘Hup Hup Hup’s and choruses that go straight to the brain litter the 14 tracks from opener Red Berry Joy Town to the closer Poison.

It’s since been re-released with added tracks. The Wonder Stuff were a terrific singles band and had B-sides to burn during their initial phase. Some of which from this era are on the reissued 20th anniversary edition.

Their UK Indie peers Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Carter USM and The Levellers helped the band get labelled as part of the post C-86 pre Britpop movement, Grebo (sometimes also known as Crustie) but underneath the baggy shorts and messy hair was keen pop music with biting satirical wit akin to The Jam, The Smiths and The Kinks. Just a bit messier.

This album features the original line up of the band including the unusually named The Bass Thing, who died very early in the bands history.
