TWS were given the following blurb:
The Wonder Stuff - The Size Of A Cow (1991)
Former Stourbridge Grebo rockers went all Celtic Soul
Brothers-meets-Madness in 1991 on their Never Loved Elvis album. Size Of A
Cow was the LP's classic "cut", a reeling, drunken, dress-wearing anthem
accompanied by a video which was pure music hall vaudeville. The "Stuffies"
became hirsute "Brummies" in baggy tartan shorts, played football stadiums
and filled their songs with Martin "Fiddly" Bell. One more album,
Construction For The Modern Idiot, followed before their split in 1994, with
Miles Hunt returning as leader of the splenetic Vent 414, and the rest of
them re-grouping as the crazily named Weknowwhereyoulive.
