Truth be told, I have a soft spot for their entire debut album 'Eddie, Old Bob, Dick & Gary' which also included the seminal 'Wunderbar' and '3 Bells In A Row' along with this, their biggest hit (No. 6 Apr 1981).
Tenpole Tudor was originally formed in the mid-70s by Eddie Tudor (born Edward Tudor-Pole, his family allegedly being descended from the Tudors) who was briefly Johnny Rotten's replacement in The Sex Pistols and appeared in their film 'The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle'. After a couple of albums, Tenpole Tudor disbanded with Eddie eventually returning to his first love: acting. Nowadays, he is best remember as the host of the UK version of 'The Crystal Maze' having taken over from Richard O'Brien in 1993.
