The swords of a thousan men - Tenpole Tudor

Tenpole Tudor released their debut album 'Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary' in 1981. The second single from the album, 'Wunderbar', was a European hit, but its predecessor did less well. Still, in the UK it was their biggest hit, reaching number 6 in the UK singles chart.

My copy of the single is a Belgian pressing, which in fact is a pretty rare thing: I think I've only got a handful of singles made in Belgium.

My collection: 7" single no. 3295
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, February 24, 2001
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'The swords of a thousand men' / 'Love and food'

Wunderbar - Tenpole Tudor

Eddie Tudor-Pole formed the British punk band Tenpole Tudor in 1974 with Bob Kingston, Dick Crippen and Gary Long. In 1980, they signed a recording contract with Stiff Records and released their debut single 'Three bells in a row' in 1980. A year later, their debut album 'Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary' was released. This album spawned two hit singles, 'Sword of a thousand men' and 'Wunderbar'. The latter was the only single to have some success abroad: it reached number 4 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 3385
Found: Geest, Den Haag, 2003
Cost: 1 euro
