of the Pops with Ginger wearing green welding goggles. The Wildhearts next planned a double album, but East West vetoed this plan during the recording sessions. The band stockpiled existing tracks and continued writing and recording for a proposed single album. Midway through the recording sessions, Ginger fired guitarist CJ, and some of the album's tracks were recorded without a second guitarist. For the 1994 European tours, the band were joined by Devin Townsend as second guitarist/harmony singer, having met him during a previous tour supporting the Steve Vai band. Earth vs. The Wildhearts was reissued in late 1994 with "Caffeine Bomb" tacked on as an extra track. In December 1994, the Wildhearts issued six of the more eclectic tracks from the incomplete double album sessions with CJ on a fan club-only release entitled Fishing for Luckies. The mini-album included "Geordie In Wonderland", a song which Ginger had offered to Kevin Keegan and Newcastle United F.C. as a potential team anthem, although he had been graciously turned down. The track was performed on Top of the Pops with Wolfsbane's Jeff Hateley, painted in Toon Army colours, on mandolin. The second Wildhearts album proper, P.H.U.Q., was released in May 1995 and reached number 6 in the UK Albums Chart, making it the band's most successful album. Shortly after the album's release, Mark Keds of Senseless Things was drafted as second guitarist, but lasted just one recording session, in which he appeared on the B-sides for the single "Just in Lust". Keds rejoined Senseless Things, and the band hired Jef Streatfield as a replacement. In early 1996, the Wildhearts recorded more material. Only some of the songs saw the light of day on the Fishing for More Luckies album, a revamped version of Fishing for Luckies with eight new tracks. An additional album of new material was never quite finished, although leaked copies were distributed as the Shitty Fuckin' Stupid Tracks bootleg. These rare tracks were officially released by East West in 1998 as part of the Landmines and Pantomimes rarities compilation. Endless, Nameless era In 1997 the band signed to Mushroom Records, and set about making another album. In November 1997, shortly before the release of Endless, Nameless, Ginger decided to split the band. The band toured Japan but cancelled a scheduled British tour.
