Track 1: produced & recorded for the 'Fon Force' @ Fon Studios, Sheffield.
Tracks 2 to 4: recorded live in Gothenberg in March 1988, as part of the 'Poppies On Patrol' tour.
In 1986, the line-up of singer and guitarist Clint Mansell, guitarist and
keyboardist Adam Mole, bassist Richard March, and drummer Graham Crabb formed as
Wild And Wandering in the English town of Stourbridge. After some months and one
e.p. they changed their name to Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) and earned attention
from the indie scene for their first e.p., The Poppies Say Grrr! on Chapter 22.
At the time they played short, fast, slightly psychedelic punk-pop tunes and
went on with that for three more e.p.'s before starting to incorporate house and
hip hop beats and samples on Beaver Patrol. By autumn 1987 PWEI released their
first album, Box Frenzy, with some tunes leaning towards new wave, some towards
hip hop and acid house. A drum machine called Dr. Nightmare was installed and
Graham Crabb took the second microphone.
After the 12" Def.Con.One PWEI signed a deal with RCA and released Can U Dig It?
in 1989, which would be the first of 12 PWEI singles going UK top 40. In the
same year their seminal second album This Is The Day...This Is The Hour...This
Is This! appeared to public and critical acclaim for its witty fusion of rock
and electronic music.
