Description
First ever stand alone CD release of the second album by Wreckless Eric.
Wreckless Eric was one of the original crop of wonderful stars on the infamous Stiff Records label, along with The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Nick Lowe, and a couple of years later Madness
The debut album 'Wreckless Eric' was released on June 1, 1978, and this second followed just four months later on October 6th – those were the days!
'The Wonderful World' is a pop-punk masterpiece that Stiff Records might reasonably have expected to make a dent in the charts in 1978. It was not to be.
Bonus tracks are from the single 'Hit And Miss Judy' which included a different recording of the track 'Let's Go To The Pictures'– on CD for the first time here – the b-side alternative recording of 'I Wish It Would Rain' (the album version appears on CD for the first time on this release), and Wreckless Eric's version of Devo's 'Be Stiff' which was released on the various Stiff artists 'Be Stiff Tour' LP.
Liner notes by renowned music journalist Terry Staunton.Description
