Today the Superlative Seven are known throughout the world
as an inspirational group of superheroes and part time rag and bone men.
However little is known of their history. The only thing most scholars
will agree about is that it probably happened in the past.
Those few who have dared to inquire into the group's origin have either ended up dead or working for Channel Five. |
|
However now, for the first time we can present the sordid history of world's least favourite heroes The Superlative Seven! |
The Marmosetz were marketing phenomena. Not only records, but books, comics, toys and an ill conceived series of family planning products bearing the Marmoset logo all failed to sell. By the early seventies the media had lost interest in the group, and the band members had began to seek fame in other directions. |

![]() Little Mr. A was the first Marmoset to release a solo record, the novelty
single "Short Haired Supporter of Liverpool". As a direct
result he was also the first Marmoset to be banned from Australia on the
grounds of taste. Adopting a unique folk style Lordy soon found fans deserting his gigs
in droves. |
![]() "Tales from Topographic Chip Shops" was released on April 1 as an album, 8-track tape, a film, a west end musical and a cheeseburger. On April 2 it was returned as a album, 8-track tape, a film, a west end musical and a cheeseburger. However in one spectacular event in 1985 Mr. B did more to help World famine than any other musician by donating his priceless collection of puddings to Oxfam. |

Fiona, Debbie and Helen had been together since the 1974 Eurovision Song
Contest with their group SHABBA where they finished 87th out of 24 entrants.
However the Since the age of four Duggie had been playing guitar and singing with AC/DC until the band found out about it and put a court injunction on her. However her love of music and films lead her to a profitable career providing the soundtrack to porno movies. Even today grown men have been known to need new trousers after listening to Duggie eat an orange. In 1979 Debbie was teamed with her son Jon for the Jonny and Marie show,
where she played Donny. |
Helen used her re-found fame to rekindle her musical career. She singlehandely
created the new romantic movement and scored a surprise hit with "Are
Light Bulbs Electric" in 1980. However her follow up, "Ernie,
the Fastest Milkman in the West (in an electric cart)" failed
to chart. |
The early eighties saw Lordy and Fiona join together as
the techno duo The Eucalyptus. Their first single, "Wet
Dreams" was number one in Afghanistan, where the rebels used
it to drive the Russians out of the country. Fiona later went on to star
as The Piddler in "Batman Go Home".

Ever eager for a quick pint Lordy and Dandy reunited for a tour of pubs in the Southport area in the late eighties. Their lightweight brand of drunken foolishness was to delight a whole new audience of magistrates. |
|
Mr. B was now exclusively massaging, I mean managing Mr. A after his only other client, Sooty, left after the Macarena fiasco. Helen, Fiona and Debbie were touring under the name of Debbie, Helen and Fiona. However a legal wrangle forced them to change their name to Fiona, Debbie and Helen. |
In 1997 six of the seven accidentally met in Caister while John, Jon, Lordy, Dandy, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub were playing in a Marmosetz tribute band and Fiona, Helen and Debbie were cleaning the chalets. John bumped into Debbie and was so struck with the girl he instantly asked her to help him up. It was the beginning of a partnership that would last a lunch time. |
Two years later Duggie was discovered squatting in one of Jon's T-shirts. Dandy offered her an orange. Duggie knocked him out and was instantly rewarded with lifetime membership of the Seven by the others. |
And so began the real history of the Seven |

And possibly their end. |
