big country released the non-lp extended play single "wonderland" in 1984, while in the middle of a lengthy worldwide tour. the song, considered by some critics to be one of their finest, was a top ten hit (no. 8) in the uk singles chart but, despite heavy airplay and a positive critical response, was a comparative flop in the us, reaching only no. 86 on the "billboard" hot 100. it was the last single by the band to make the us charts.
