THEIR ONE AND ONLY TOP 10 HIT


Seventeen singles between 1987 and 1994.  Just the one top Ten hit.

The irony was the band had been dropped by RCA Records in January 1993 after the personnel who had brought them to the major label had lost their jobs.

mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies (Sherwood 7" Mix)
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies (Sherwood 12" Mix)
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies (Sherwood Dub Mix)
mp3 : Pop Will Eat Itself - Part Man Part Machine

(all four tracks give you almost 32 minutes of sounds)

It led to a brave live vocal performance on Top of the Pops......



 It's a shame cos it doesn't capture just how good a live band they were in their day.  One who made all of their audience go bonkers......

great live band indeed. actually, that's damning them with feint praise. once they stopped the grebbo nonsense, they were a very fine band indeed.

Clint Poppie (real name Clint Mansell) is now a film soundtrack composer. Biggest film he did the soundtrack for so far is Black Swan. Quite a leap from the Poppies!
