I have snooped around, and I think I should be able to track down the book easily and cheaply, but I do appreciate it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-81624636193910911452016-09-17T15:34:36.870-04:002016-09-17T15:34:36.870-04:00I was turned on to some of Cope's Head Heritag...I was turned on to some of Cope's Head Heritage mail-order albums by a friend in the early noughties.

I bought Fried when it came out, hoping the ship might have been righted after Wilder seemed to fade into some level of obscurity, but I found it a difficult listen and much more muscular than I was expecting. Bill Drummond is a pretty amazing song and stands out on the set. O King Of Chaos reminds me of Nick Drake singing a Who song...but that's just me... <br />Things got a bit more on track for me with World Shut Your Mouth. Some of the Teardrop's magic seemed to be on offer here. Bandy's First Jump and Strasbourg are the stars of this album.<br />Saint Julian is his most focused, yet uncompromised album. It's follow up is where compromise comes into the equation and My Nation Underground is just too flat for me. Peggy Suicide was one of the last Cope albums I purchased and is a bit all over the place but has East Easy Rider and Head on it making it worth a listen.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-41024297384936449052016-09-14T11:09:55.792-04:002016-09-14T11:09:55.792-04:00Thanks for the input, fellas.

Perhaps these comments will give me an extra push.

You should really read his memoirs, though - particularly 'Head-On', about The Liverpool punk and Teardrop Explodes' years. The 'Krautrocksampler' is also a good read, if necessarily obscure at times...Misterprimenoreply@blogger.com
