Julian Cope & The Teardrop Explodes - Cold War Psychedelia

Released 16th July 2021.

Exclusive limited vinyl release. Exhilarating! Dynamic! 1982 music from the Death Throes of Liverpools maddest band. 42 minutes of it, and nearly all previously unreleased. Instrumentals, mostly, plus fragile earworms from a very distant time. Also check out Side 2s tumbling musical collage taken from the same 1982 recording sessions this time, however, they are overladen with Copes earliest autobiographical attempts. Yes, herein are contained 1989s Head-On reflections: spoken word delivered over a mysterious and distinctively Teardrop Explodes Post-Punk sound. Clad in appropriately intriguing packaging? U-Betcha! Doesnt feature Reward-type hits anywhere herein!!
