The Wonder Stuff

In 1993, the Wonder Stuff released a set of extended play (EP) recordings on CD and tape that used science-based school images from the 1960s and 1970s for their covers.

Geoff later appeared in isolation on the cover of a re-release of some of the material in 2000.

The Wonder Stuff may actually have a connection with Kettering but I don't know what it is. Maybe one of its members is a native of the town.

A copy of a cutting from The Times, containing a version of the photo from which the Wonder Stuff image was taken, is below.

In the original picture are Phil Gregory, Richard Jahn, Bob Christy, Mike Sinnett, Geoff Perry, Derek Slater and Graeme Coleman. Unfortunately, for purposes of composition, Phil and Richard were cut-off in order to produce the album cover.
