Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary was the debut album by UK punk rock band Tenpole Tudor. The title is a play on the phrase "any old Tom, Dick or Harry". A moderately successful seller, peaking at #44 in the UK Albums Chart, the album launched three singles: "Three Bells in a Row", "Wunderbar" and "Swords of a Thousand Men". "Wunderbar" reached #16 on the UK Singles Chart. "Swords of a Thousand Men" was the most successful of Tenpole Tudor's singles, achieving #6 and remaining on the charts for 12 weeks. The album was reissued on CD in 2007 on the See label.
Ira Robbins of Trouser Press lauded the band's single releases as "classy trash", noting that on the better tracks of the album, Tenpole Tudor's "good humor and rock energy are undeniably infectious".AllMusic, expressing surprise at the album's number of "flat-out excellent songs", judges the album as "a thrillingly primitive rock & roll record".
Unless otherwise indicated, all songs by Eddie Tudorpole.
