Wreckless Eric's third album was released as a double LP (SEEZ 21) and as cassette (ZSEES 21) on February 29, 1980. While the first LP comprised new material, the extra LP was the . only, compilation album The Whole Wide World. Big Smash! was re-issued as a 2-CD set in 2007 with 3 bonus tracks (CDSEEZ 21).

But Big Smash!, overall, sees Wreckless Eric toning down his sense of humor considerably while tightening up his attack, which makes this a very different affair than the debut or his early singles. Those were wild, unruly, unhinged - truly, they were reckless, where this is just eccentric, but that doesn't mean it's tamed

It's entirely possible that the title to Wreckless Eric's second album Big Smash! was meant sincerely, it's entirely possible that it was an ironic joke - such is the charm of Wreckless is that both answers are entirely plausible. The thing is, the truth doesn't matter - as Eric reveals in the liner notes to the 2007 expanded reissue, he didn't even think of the title, merely chose it from two options offered by Stiff.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). My gripe is that the compilation takes many more tracks from the second of Eric's releases than the first. The second album is much 'cleaner' and more 'professional' than the first and lacks much of the first's glorious idiosyncracy. In a word, Eric's first album was in the great tradition of English eccentricity-plus it had some great rock'n'roll on it and songs with wonderful hooks.
