Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second full-length release from the eccentric Stiff Records mainstay continues his endearingly sloppy, high-energy approach to British rock and roll. 'The Wonderful World of Wreckless Eric' expertly straddles the line between gritty pub rock tradition and the frantic, DIY energy of the late-70s punk explosion.
