The Wurzels are a British scrumpy and Western band from Nailsea, Somerset. Since their formation in 1966, the group have released nine studio albums, eight live albums, nine compilation albums, two extended plays (EPs), forty-one singles, one video album and seven music videos. Founded by vocalist Adge Cutler and originally known as "Adge Cutler and The Wurzels", the band debuted in December 1966 with the single "Drink Up thy Cider",[1] which reached number 45 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] The group's first EP and self-titled debut album followed shortly thereafter, the latter of which debuted at number 38 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] After Adge Cutler and The Wurzels, the band released Adge Cutler's Family Album later in 1967, Cutler of the West in 1968 and Carry On Cutler! in 1969 – like their debut, all were recorded live and released on Columbia Records, although none were able to chart.[3] Cutler died in a road traffic accident on 5 May 1974, after which the remaining Wurzels continued the band.[4]

After signing with EMI and releasing The Wurzels Are Scrumptious! in 1975, the band issued their most successful album The Combine Harvester in 1976, which reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[2][5] Lead single "The Combine Harvester" was also certified silver,[5] having given the Wurzels their first and only UK Singles Chart number one.[2] The Wurzels began issuing primarily studio recordings starting with 1977's Golden Delicious, which was their last release to reach the UK top 40 and receive silver certification.[2][5] Starting in the 1980s, the group began to self-release their albums, although EMI continued to issue various compilations – one of these releases, The Finest 'Arvest of The Wurzels from 2000, was certified gold by the BPI.[5] A string of singles in the early to mid-2000s charted in the UK, while the band's 2010 album A Load More Bullocks reached number 35 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[2]
