Tenpole Tudor – The Artist/s

Tenpole Tudor are an English punk band fronted by Edward Tudor-Pole. Tenpole Tudor formed in 1977 when Tudor-Pole (vocals/saxophone) met guitarist Bob Kingston, bassist Dick Crippen, and drummer Gary Long. They played regularly for several years until Tudor-Pole himself (under the moniker of Eddie Tenpole) came to prominence by appearing in the 1980 film, The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle (filmed in 1978). He was originally billed as a replacement for Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten — performing the songs “Who Killed Bambi?”, “The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle” and a cover version of “Rock Around the Clock” for the film and subsequent soundtrack — however, manager Malcolm McLaren and the remaining Sex Pistols instead decided to abandon the group and go their own ways. The band then went on to have hits in their own right with songs like “Swords of a Thousand Men” and “Wünderbar”. The band has been active intermittently since 1977.

The Swords of a Thousand Men- The Song

The Swords of a Thousand Men is a song and single written by Eddie Tenpole, and performed by the English punk band Tenpole Tudor. It was first released on Stiff Records in March 1981. It entered the UK Singles Chart in April that year, reaching number 6 and staying for 10 weeks on the chart.  On 1 June 1981, the single was awarded a silver certification by the BPI in the UK for sales of over 250,000 units.

The British Lion – The Shape

Modelled into a silhouette of the British Lion as found on the flag on the promotional video and the record sleeve. The lion is a symbol of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, its constituent countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), and the Crown Dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
