From COMM_SJ@vax1.utulsa.edu  Mon Oct 31 15:36:51 1994
Subject: Updated discography


Hi Travis:


Been tinkering with the discography, adding some things, etc., and this
is the latest I've got.  If you wanna put it on the ftp site it's okay
by me...I'd like to see some additions as well (primarly Skellington II
track listing, some of the bootlegs, etc., and even descriptions of the
bootlegs would be nice).


Best,
Sj


--------------------------------------------
Again, many thanks to the person who typed in the original version of 
this discography.  I've added some items, mostly in the bootleg 
section, to this version.  Anyone want to reformat this?  
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

JULIAN COPE & THE TEARDROP EXPLODES
DISCOGRAPHY 1979-93
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Dates are from an NME (New Musical Express - UK music newspaper) discography, 
and are suspect in some cases - many of the song names are also mis-spelt in 
the NME.  I have all the Cope solo stuff and some of the Teardrops stuff, so I
have checked it against that.  I haven't bothered to list promos etc, which 
are all tracks from albums/singles in any case.
 

7/10/12/CD refers to 7"/10"/12" vinyl and CD formats. 
Extra tracks on 12" and/or CD are shown with an asterisk (*).
Cover versions are shown with a (C).
 

===============================================================================
 

1. THE TEARDROP EXPLODES
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

1A. ZOO RECORDS
 

All the Zoo tracks are on the compilation "Piano", which is 32 minutes long 
and mastered from the original vinyl, so it is pretty low quality.
These songs are all different versions to those on "Kilimanjaro"
 

Feb 79 Sleeping Gas // Camera, Camera / Kirkby Workers Dream Fades (7)
 

Jun 79 Bouncing Babies // All I Am Is Loving You (7)
 

Feb 80 Treason (It's Just a Story) // Read It In Books (7)
 

    82  TO THE SHORES OF LAKE PLACID
 

Compilation album includes "When I Dream", "Camera, Camera" and 
"Take a Chance" by The Teardrop Explodes, "Kwalo Klobinsky's Lullabye"
by Whopper, plus tracks by Big in Japan, Echo & the Bunnymen, Dalek I 
Love You, and other Zoo artists.  The Whopper track is Cope and Dwyer
plus a disjointed backing track, which includes the horns from "When
I Dream", and is on "Piano" with the proper Teardrops songs.
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

1B. MERCURY
 

Sep 80 When I Dream // Kilimanjaro (7)
 

Oct 80 KILIMANJARO (PRICE 59 (UK); SRM-1-4016 (US, Jan 81); CD reissued 
                    on Skyclad, LUCKY CD7)
 

Ha Ha I'm Drowning / Sleeping Gas / Treason / Second Head / 
Reward / Poppies in the Field // Went Crazy / Brave Boys Keep 
Their Promises / Bouncing Babies / Books / Thief of Baghdad / 
When I Dream 
 

Later reissued with "Reward" added (Mercury wanted this), and a new 
cover with a photo of some zebras on it (Cope wanted this, possibly 
because he had kicked several of the people on the old cover out of 
the band).  The cover on the modern reissues is the original.
On the inside sleeve, "Sleeping Gas" is subtitled "Kwalo Klobinsky's
Lullabye".
 

Jan 81 Reward // Strange House in the Snow (7) (TEAR 2)
 

Apr 81 Treason // Traison (C'est Juste Une Histoire) (*) / Use Me 
       (7/12) (TEAR 312)
 

Aug 81 Ha Ha I'm Drowning // Poppies (7)
       Also a double single pack with 
       Books // Bouncing Babies (7) (TEAR 44)
 

Sep 81 Passionate Friend // Christ Vs. Warhol (7/12) (TEAR 5 (7"))
       12" with extended version of B-side
 

Nov 81 Colours Fly Away // Window Shopping for a New Crown of Thorns /
East of the Equator (*) (7/12) TEAR 612 (12")
 

Nov 81 WILDER (PRICE 112 (UK); 6359-056 (US); SRM-1-4035 (US 
reissue); CD reissued on Skyclad, CRAZY8CD)) 
Bent Out Of Shape / Colours Fly Away / Seven Views of Jerusalem /
Pure Joy / Falling Down Around Me / The Culture Bunker //
Passionate Friend / Tiny Children / Like Leila Khaled Said /
...And the Fighting Takes Over / The Great Dominions
 

Original cover was of flowers (as on the inside of "Floored Genius"),
modern reissues show Cope's face. [Note: song order differs on US 
versions.]
 

Jun 82 Tiny Children // Rachel Built a Steamboat / 
Sleeping Gas (live) (*) (7/12) (TEAR 712 (12"))
 

Feb 83You Disappear From View // Suffocate (7)  (TEAR 88 (12"))
Also a double 7" single pack with "Baroque version" of 
"Suffocate", and Soft Enough For You / The In-Psychlopaedia // 
Ouch Monkeys (7) 12" same as the double 7", but "Suffocate" was 
the "American version" 
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

1C. DOCUMENT 
 

    90 "The Zoo" -- Uncaged 1978-1982 (DCD1)
 

Compilation very much like (same as?) "To The Shores of Lake 
Placid," has interesting, conciliatory liner notes from Bill 
Drummond.  Teardrop Explodes songs are:
 

Sleeping Gas // Bouncing Babies // Treason // Books
 

    90 PIANO (DCD4)
 

Sleeping Gas // Camera, Camera // Krkby Workers Dream Fades // 
Bouncing Babies // All I Am Is Loving You // Treason // Books // 
Take A Chance // When I Dream // Kwalo Kobinsky's Lullaby
 

 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

1D. THE THIRD ALBUM
 

"Everybody Wants To Shag The Teardrop Explodes" was the title of the "never
released" first Zoo LP, the version of "When I Dream" on the Zoo compilation
is from this album.  The title was used for a collection of late-period 
Teardrops tracks, some from the aborted third album.  All the A & B-sides from
this period are from Mercury albums.
 

Jan 90 Serious Danger // Sleeping Gas / Seven Views of Jerusalem (*) (7/12/CD)
 

Mar 90 EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHAG THE TEARDROP EXPLODES (Fontana 842 439-2)
Ouch Monkeys / Serious Danger / Metranil Vavin / Count to Ten and 
Run for Cover / The In-Psychlopaedia / Soft Enough For You  //

the remix of "Pussyface" though).

(*) / Eat The Poor (*) (7/12) (COPE 112)
 "Eat the Poor" features an early version of "Land of Fear" at the end.

Caruso records. Copey was given an antique toy car as payment 
for it.

2B.ISLAND - FIRST PHASE
 

Remixes are generally very different from the album versions.
 

Sep 86 World Shut Your Mouth / I've Got Levitation (C*) // 
Umpteenth Unnatural Blues / Non-Alignment Pact (C*) / 
Transporting (*) (7/12) (12 IS 290 (12"))

Julian Cope vs. Trouble Funk - remixes of "WSYM", 
"Levitation" is the same as on the normal single.
 

Jan 87 Trampolene / Disaster (7) (ISG 305; double single w/ T/D 
on both records...or else mine is screwed up)
 

Jan 87 Trampolene / Disaster // 
Mock Turtle (*) / Warwick the Kingmaker (*) (7/12) (ISW 305 (7", 
                                   comes w/poster); 12 IS 305 (12"))

Mar 87 ST. JULIAN (CID 9861 CD)
Trampolene / Shot Down / Eve's Volcano / Spacehopper / Planet Ride //

Spacehopper - annexe / Almost Beautiful Child I & II (12) (12 ISX 318)
 

Sep 88 Charlotte Anne / Books / A Question of Temperature (C*) //

"Books" is a re-recording of the old Teardrops/Bunnymen 
classic.  12" came as a picture disc.

5 O'Clock World (C) / Vegetation / Charlotte Anne / 
My Nation Underground //
China Doll / Someone Like Me (C) / Easter Everywhere /

The date is certainly wrong for this - it was released after
"Charlotte Anne", but before Christmas.

       (12 IS 399)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

2C. THE MYSTERY ALBUMS
 

There have been various rumours about these - both were obviously recorded
quickly, and are about half an hour long.  "Skellington" features Cope, Skinner 
& Cosby, and was recorded by Hugo Nicolson who worked on "My Nation
Underground" and all of Cope's subsequent albums.  This suggests it was not
recorded during the breakup of the Teardrops, or immediately after "Fried" 
(two of the more popular claims), though many of the songs date from that 
period or before.  "Robert Mitchum", like "Books" and "Spacehopper" is a
Cope/McCulloch composition, dating from their time in The Crucial Three with 
Pete Wylie of Wah!, long before any of them were famous.  
 

The best guess is that "Skellington" was the follow-up to "My Nation 
Underground", which Island rejected, and that "Droolian" is a collection of 
demos, out-takes and messing around.  "Droolian" was allegedly only released
in Texas, but I suspect this (like the claim that "Skellington" was recorded
before "St Julian") was a way of getting round Cope's contract with Island.
The boxes for the remixes of "East Easy Rider" and "Head" also bear the
Copeco/Zippo logo, despite being on Island.
 

Apr 90 SKELLINGTON (Copeco/Zippo, UK) (JC CD89)
Doomed / Beaver / Me and Jimmy Jones / Robert Mitchum / 
Out Of My Mind on Dope and Speed / Don't Crash Here /
Everything Playing at Once //
Little Donkey / Great White Wonder / Incredibly Ugly Girl /
No How, No Why, No Way, No Where, No When / Commin' Soon
 

Again, I think the date is wrong - my copy is (c) 1989, which is the
year given on the notes to "East Easy Rider".
 

Jun 90 DROOLIAN (MoFoCo/Zippo, USA) (CD90)
Sqwubbsy / Look After Your Leathers / Unisex Cathedral / 
Commin' Down / Safe Surfer / Yeah Yeah Yeah / Jellypop Perky Jean //
When Will I Get to Hold You? / Louis 14th / "...Atonement of Wasp" /
Gentleman Dude / Kelly / Church of England 1991
 

No mention of Cope anywhere on this disc, other than his picture on 
the back cover.  The dog on the front cover is Smelvin.

I know of a shop selling the Charlotte Anne, Easty Risin', and Fear Loves 
this Place. 


I Could possibly help you out in obtaining them, or the place is Vinyl 
Solution in Grand Rapids, MI, 241-4040. They are a great source for hard 
to find tapes, lps, and CDs, and imports. They special order, and 
possibly ship as well. 


They have a lot of J Cope lps, CDs and singles in stock.

From 74344.1744@compuserve.com  Tue Nov  1 08:39:18 1994


Some trivia: 


1)  I read that Nova Mob (Grant Hart's, formerly of Husker Du, most recent band)
got the name from an early band featuring Julian, Ian MacCollough and Pete
Wylie.  I think they took the name from the book Nova Express by William
Burroughs.


2)  There is the Courtney Love / Julian connection.  Hole, Courtney's band,
plays Seven Seas occasionally in concert.  She refers to Hole as a decent New
Wave band.  Kurt Cobain, in the liner notes to Incesticide refers to Julian
Cope's idea that old copies of NME are stuffed in the bottom of the deep fry
vats in the Kabob shops in London.  Kurt also goes to refer to Nirvana as a New
Wave band - and on Incesticide does covers of Vaseline songs and a Devo song.
I'll transcribe the section about Julian when I have the CD in front of me.


3) I first got into Julian when I was going to university in Vermont and heard
the song World Shut Your Mouth.  I went straight out and bought the cd.  I
picked up some of the older material when I could.  I was disappointed in My
Nation Underground.  Later, I was living abroad (in Finland) and met up with a
British guy who was a major Cope-head.  He was excited about Peggy Suicide, so I
picked up a copy and got back on the Julian bandwagon.  I have been quite
fortunate living in NY because I have been able to pick-up some used singles
very cheaply.


That's it for now,
John

Okay, there are some addresses (maybe 6) that have been bumming out the
last few weeks, but I have been too busy to delete them from the list.  Today
I will do so, after this post.  If you do not receive any posts within
the next week or so, email me; maybe the messages were getting to you 
after all.

There has been an ad in the back pages of the NME for the last three
weeks including an album called "Queen Victoria" by Julian Cope.  Does
anyone know anything about this?  It's one of those companies that
habitually advertises stuff weeks before it is actually released, so
I doubt if it is available now, but could this be the first sign of
Island's "Best of the B-sides" compilation?

Status: R


Just thought y'all might be interested...this is from the October 26, 1994 
issue (vol. 1, no. 3) of iMpulse, a listserv/magazine from Warner Bros.  It's 
from an interview with Chris Connelly (Ministry, etc.) about the release of 
his new album:
 

`....Asked if Julian Cope (formerly of the Teardrop Explodes) is a conscious 
influence on his sometimes moody, asymmetrical music, Connelly only offers 
that both he and Cope are highly influenced by the reclusive British rocker 
(and Ohio native) Scott Walker. 
 

"The Walker Brothers were England's version of the Righteous Brothers, but
they were as big as the Beatles," he says. "Now Scott Walker does an album
every 10 years or so, but they're brilliant."'

          Well, I just ordered it yesterday. Let's keep our fingers
     crossed!! Krout rock perhaps?(spell) Hmmm. I'm pretty sure the
     b-sides CD has a different name. 


          P.S. - Anyone form a new opinion on "AUTOGEDDON" since
     it's had time to "breathe"?

Subject: VOX December Issue.


The December issue of VOX magazine has a free tape on it this month. Second
track on side one is Julian Cope, I Gotta Walk. (2.33)


This version is different from the album version but as far as I can tell
after two listenings, the difference seems to be extra weird 70's type
(can/faust) elctronic warbling noises in the background. One of them cuts
straight down your spine if you play it loud enough. Vocals are the same.


Thought people might like to know.


The other thing of note is that the song is licensed to Echo/Chrysalis
records. It seems that Echo is a subsidary of Chrysalis. Also on the tape are
tracks from Oasis, Echobelly, Portishead, Manic Street Preachers, Prodigy,
Dep. Mode, The Cranberries and about 6 more (some dodgy like Erasure for c's
sake).

As an avid JC fan i've been following his rantings about druidism, etc.
i've finally come across a book which details all that stuff so that the next
time i'm in England i'll has the proper historical references down pat.


Prehistoric London:  It's Mounds & Circles  by E. O. Gordon.
originally published in 1914 and reprinted in 1985 by Artisan Sales.
ISBN # 0-934666-16-4, $7.00


I got my copy form a bookstore in Mokelumne Hill, Lilly Books (209) 632-8830.
I have not had the time to read the whole thing, yet.  But the table of contents
is fascinating (Welsh Triads, connections to Troy/Romans, appendix with lay line
etc.)


f.y.i.

          I was wondering if there is interest in my sending the
     interview with JC from an old issue of Fortean Times, a journal
     of the bizzare, to the group. I dont mind typing it in.

    YeaH, I still think most of it holds up fairly well.
I'm anxious to hear the K. Rock stuff though. More anxious
to see Julian play actually..but I talked to American 
recently and his publicist says they won't release
anything by him now until spring, so there will probably
be no US appearances until then.

Got another one of those cards from Copey yesterday, and here's the
news:


1) The Scottish section of "The Modern Antiquarian" is finished.
2) He's writing a book called "Krautrocksampler" about Can, Neu, Faust
   etc, for publication late next Spring.
3) New album "Queen Elizabeth" is out on Monday.  Just Copey and
   Thighpaulsandra (who is this?), a sprawling epic to be released on
   Prince Charles's birthday, taking the name of the head of the
   monarchy because she doesn't deserve it any more.  Peel the sticker
   off the front, fix it inside a *used* envelope, and KAK will send you
   a single with three new versions of "Paranormal in the West Country"
   (for the first three weeks after release only).  Has to be a used
   envelope, not a new one.
   Is Thighpaulsandra his wife, Skinner, or another one of those Cope
   alter-egos?

I'm a bit reluctant to buy CDs for people, but by coincidence I have
just gathered a list of mail-order places for people on the 4AD list:


Adrians, 36/38 High St, Wickford, Essex, SS12 9AZ
  Tel: 0268 733318/733319/733320
  Fax: 0268 764507


Action Records, Mail Order dept, 47 Church St, Preston, Lancs LR1 3DH
  Tel: 0772 884772
  Fax: 0772 204402 (night-time, i.e. afternoon/early evening in the USA)


Vinyl Experience, 18 Hathaway St, London W1P 9DD
  Tel: 071 636 1281
  Fax: 071 636 0738


Sister Ray, 94 Berwick St, London W1V 3PP
  Tel: 071 287 8365
  Fax: 071 287 1087


Standard prices are #4 (4 pounds UK) for CD or 12" singles,  between
#11 and #13 for CD albums, #7-#9 for vinyl albums.  P&P varies, but
#3-4 for the first CD (outside Europe) and #1-2 for each subsequent CD
seems to be standard.  I have ordered from Adrians, and someone else on
the 4AD list has had nothing but good words for Sister Ray, who also
appear to be cheaper than the others.  Bear in mind that the US is about
4-6 hours behind the UK (I think), so early morning in the USA
corresponds to about midday in the UK.  All these places take credit
cards (Access/Visa), and may take other payment methods as well.


I think the phone numbers should have the initial zero removed, and
whatever the US code for the UK is, added.

Hello, Copers!  
   

   First of all... A NEW ALBUM?!?  Wham, bam, it's out!  No notice of 
"Queen Victoria" on the new-releases bulletin.  Maybe is Cope`s new
ambush tactics.  Anyway, I prefer getting surprised like this to that
agonizing wait for AUTOGEDDON.


   I posted Andrew's mail order list (from NME), where we can hopefully 
snag "Queen Victoria" without much hassle.  By the way, some of us DON'T
have credit cards, and kind of have to rely on those of you in Britain to
buy CDs for us, which I know is a big inconvenience to some of you.  So, 
if anyone there in Britain is willing to buy a CD (or 2 or 3...) for an
American, Canadian, German or Australian (any other countries represented
here?) please let the list know.


   Thanks.


   Secondly, how are the Cope covers going?  I confess to leaving mine in the
dark for the past couple of weeks.  I assume everyone's life is mega-busy
right now (crunch time).  Anyway, I said the deadline was going to be flexible,
so,  how about end of November?  Is that enough time?  I haven't gotten any
responses about this lately, but i assume interest is still there...


   Lastly, I'd like to hear some input regarding this list.  Content, format,
whatever.  I said I'd try to limit the header sizes, for one thing.  Is there
anything else you would like to see changed?  Do you want the list to be more
digested?  More immediate?  (I think we went over this last semester...)


   Anyway, your feedback would be nice.  


   Take care everybody,


Travis


p.s. everyone cross our fingers that "Queen Victoria" isn't delayed... :)

HI (hope this is getting out to the list...).  Just got my Copey 
postcard, but half of the message has been obscured - could someone explain
what I have to do to get the freebie CD?  AFter buying the new LP in 
shops next week, I take the sticker, put it inside a used envelope
(why used), then put the used envelope into a normal envelope, address it
to KAK, and off I go....?  There was mention onthe card of new Cope T shirts
avail from KAK also, but nothing about design or cost.


Sorry this is vague - my card was a real mess when it turned up.


rock n roll, eh?

There's also a UK Internet service which I've used before for CDs:
  pastel@exnet.co.uk 
  


Send "help" to this address for pricing and ordering info. They sell
CDs for around UKP11 including P&P within the UK (around UKP2 P&P
elsewhere). 


 I think they only take credit cards for international orders but you
may be able to come to some arrangement.

Mine's going extremely badly, I definitely wouldn't have it finished
by the end of November (pressure of work, etc.) but I wouldn't hold
up the tape on my account. :-)

 No, I kind of like it the way it is. :-)

 Dave.

I called one of the mail order places Andrew listed this morning
(Albion?  <-- the first one on the list)   and they said they have
no record of a Cope album being released next week (monday).  They 
said to call back in a couple of weeks.


Hmm, this isn't good, if there is indeed a 3 week deadline to get
the bonus disk (with the sticker and all).  


I'm trying pastel@exnet.co.uk as we speak...  So far, no response
from them.  I will keep you updated (my mail light will turn black as
soon as I get mail).


Hmmm...  regarding covers, don't fret too much, Dave - no one has sent
me music yet, and like I said, I haven't finished yet (it usually takes
me 1 or 2 days to write, record, mix and master a song, and since I don't
have to write this baby, I only need like half a day or so to finish 
"sleeping gas" off).  So there IS no tape to hold up, so far.  I will
be absolutely tickled to hear these covers.  :)  Maybe over Xmas break
we'll have a lot more time???


OKay, still no response from pastel.  I'm gonna assume it either isn't
automated, or is just really, really slow today.  So, I'll post this,
and keep you informed of any info I get.


Well, let's see what the deal is on Monday.  If some of you Londoners
can ring up those mail order places (local call for you guys?) to 
see what's up, that would be great.  


Also, if you just happen to be in the store on Monday, and they just
happen to have QV in stock, and you HAPPEN to have the extra $$$, and
just happen to buy an extra CD or two, I'm sure you'll be able to sell
one to one of us for a good deal.  Great way to earn a couple dollars
(or pounds) and make someone overseas very, very happy.  :)

WOW!


I'm really excited that JC has a new album coming out. 


But is it the case that it will only be release in the UK? What's the 
story on this?


If that's the case, I want it badly. Can anyone out there help me in 
aquiring it? Short of traveling there myself, of course. 


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!


THANKS,


Eve
eemsho77@ursa.Calvin.EDU

I finally got a response from my "help"
request to pastel.  I just now sent a
"send charts" request (I hope that's the
right command).  Hopefully tomorrow I'll
know if the new album is available via
pastel.

   According to a flier I got from the fan club the album is called
 Queen Elisabeth, apparently because he feels the monarchy do not
 deserve the title anymore. Also, if you remove a sticker with "BUY"
 written on it from the cover of the album and send it to KAK within t
 the three weeks starting from today Nov 14th, they will send you
 a free CD with three versions of that song from Autogeddon whose name
 momentarily escapes me!! ( the one recorded in the longbarrow!)

References: <9411121936.AA04665@thunder.swa.com>
Status: R



Just got Queen Elizabeth from my local record shop. They didn't have a
clue who it was by until I asked for it and only had one copy. 


The Buy sticker is just a little red sticker with the word Buy! written
on it. I'll be sending it with my used envelope today !


I got it on vinyl, which appears to be a limited addition. Julian has
added a "Technical Note" to the cover in the form of a sticker which
explains that the album is long and therefore sound quality is dodgy.


Queen Elizabeth is "2 spontaneous concertos for space & time". These are:


Part 1 superstar 34.00
Part 2 avebury: the arranged marriage of heaven and earth 31.30


The cover features thighpaulsandra. It's an awful photo, but it could be
Rooster Cosby. Donald Ross Skinner is credited with percussion and
e.keyboard. A certain marcel p-rooster is credited with superstart
vibrations which may well blow my theory about the identity of
thighpaulsandra.


Julians on-sleeve babblings have been limited to "Destroy the Monarchy -
Take out the Trash".


I'll be listening to the album tonight so expect a review real soon.

Just bought it but not listened to it yet. Our local 'Our Price' didn't have
iton the new releases stand but the guy behind the counter knew about it.


The only minus point being that they wanted 14.99 for it on CD! Luckily, I'd
been saving up receipt tokens and only needed one more to get it free. I have
the "BUY!" sticker on it too, so I'll send that off soon. I'm a bit miffed
about the postcard though 'coz I haven't got mine yet so if it wasn't for this
list, I wouldn't know about the offer. Could someone perhaps post the full
text from the postcard?


As for the album, only two tracks. This could be interesting.


I notice from the inlay card that the instrument list is rather odd...


ie.


thighpaulsandra - arp, ppg & moog synthesizers, ring modulators &
potentiometers


julian cope - starchamber, piano & realistic synthesizer, digital distortion
and percussion, doubleneck guitar (guitar & bass)


d-r skinner is relegated to the production credits rather than the main band
which seems to be just the above two. The other d-r skinner factoid on the
sleeve is that he is quoted as being "d-r skinner of unst". Does he have his
own band? Anyone heard of Unst?


The CD bears the catalogue number of "ESP CD 2". It's on "Echo Special
Projects". Presumably, the second ESP CD. This Echo Label needs a bit of
investigation I reckon.


The inside cover has a picture of the hill outside of Avebury which if I
remember rightly is called "Silbury Hill" as in the Peter Gabriel song too. PG
doesn't live far from the hill either.

Managed to find "Queen Elizabeth" yesterday, and I'm not too impressed
with it.  The cover is a picture of thighpaulsandra (a bloke, not Copey,
but with a similar hairstyle and fake leopardskin coat) standing on a
synthesiser and surfing through the stars.  No writing.  The back cover
doesn't mention Cope - it says:


Queen Elizabeth
Two Spontaneous Concertos for Time and Space
Part 1 - Superstar 34:00
Part 2 - Avebury: the Arranged Marriage of Heaven and Earth 31:30
Destroy the Monarcy - take out the trash
Echo Special Projects ESP CD 2


Inside there's the same picture, but with a background of Silbury Hill
(near Avebury) instead of stars, and the credits - Cope and
thighpaulsandra play all sorts of ancient synthesisers, Donald Ross
Skinner of Unst plays percussion keyboard, and Sean Harvey programmed
and recorded it. 


So what's the music like?  Dull.  Two droning ambient pieces, with no
structure.  I would imagine that Copey & tps got bombed out of their
heads, played around with synthesisers for an hour or so, and then
decided to put the results out as an album.  Sonic Boom does this sort
of thing *much* better - notably on the recent Spectrum EP "Undo the
Taboo".  There's none of the energy of "Rite", no tunes, just a rather
poor ambient album.  Avoid it unless you are a hardcore fan.

This is the most recent mailing from KAK. As usual, the mailing features
a photo of an ancient monument - this one being the 4000-year old
Men-an-Toi, an amazing holed stone at Land's End.



    Drudes,


    I've been travelling in Scotland with my family. Albany
    turned 3 at Callanish, and I played an impromptu show
    to travellers at the Ballymeanoch stones in Argyll. The
    Scottish part of The Modern Antiquarian is now complete.
    I'm currently writing a short book called Krautrocksampler,
    a guide to the most over the top hippy/punk music of all -
    Faust, Can, Ash Ra Tempel, Neu! and all that stuff. We're
    designing a special Krautrock t-shirt to celebrate the book*.
    Krautrocksampler should be ready for late Spring...


    But most serious of all is the new LP released on November
    14th, Prince Charles' birthday! It's called Queen Elizabeth
    and is a huge Cosmick Trip-out album, a vast turbulent
    space-ship of a thing. Queen Elizabeth is a republican duo,
    just me & Thighpaulsandra - we've taken that name because
    the head of the old regime doesn't deserve it anymore.


    If you wish, you are welcome to peel off the BUY! sticker
    from the Queen Elizabeth sleeve, stick it on the inside of a
    *used* envelope along with your name and address, and
    send it to KAK Ltd., P.O. Box 3823, London NB 8TQ.
    In return, the Echo Label will send you a complementary
    Paranormal in the W. Country CD, featuring 3 new versions
    of that song, plus the longbarrow original. *But* you must
    do this all in the 3 weeks after November 14th, *And* it must
    be a used envelope or the deal is forfeit. P.S. The version
    with the string quartet is my favourite.


    The Arch-D, Wessex - October 1994 (C.E.)


    * Please note KAK Ltd has new Cope shirts for sale.

I've now listened to QE twice. It's not like anything else Julian Cope has
ever done before. If I had to describe how it sounds, I'd have to describe it
as being half way between The Orb's earlier stuff and Faust's 'The Faust
Tapes'.


It has various layers of sound to it which is going to take some listening to
reveal everything. It has lot's of early electronic, synthetic noise in it and
the 'songs' don't follow a traditional structure. There is no repetitive rythm
or what you could call verses and as such it doesn't sound at all like 'Rite'.
There are the odd patches of vocals which seem to be random and unintelligible
in the background and the occasional grunt noise. On "Superstar" there seems
to be some sort of monastic chanting and what seems to be a Horse played at
half speed.


Also, they've used distortion as an instrument/noise. At first I thought it
was my speakers overloading, I was playing it loud, but I turned it down as
well as playing it through head phones and it still distorts. This was with
the CD version so if you suspect it's your vinyl, it might not be.


As I like things like the Orb, I'm quite taken to it already though it doesn't
have any kind of beat to it. I imagine if you did drugs with this record, you
could get either very paranoid or very chilled out.


I've already taped it, so I'll give it another listen tonight on my walkman
whilst cycling around the woods (in the dark). It'll probably scare me
shitless, and I'll expect aliens to jump out from behind the trees but I
should be able to get a good concentrated listen. I'll refrain from voting on
it just yet although I could be a nervous wreck later on and be unable to
express any sort of opinion. ;-)

Subject: QE Review....


Queen Elizabeth (The Midnight MTBer review).
--------------------------------------------


As a preface to the review, I must say that I started listening to this
on my walkman at about 10pm. At that time I was biking around the
tracks leading up to the woods north of where I live. I know these
woods like the back of my hand, even in the dark. It was a cold, clear
night with a full moon so a lot of the time I didn't need my 3w flood
never mind the 10w spotlight and 3w spot head torch. ie. enough to
blind car drivers and transfix woodland creatures ;-)


I started off biking to "Superstar". This has quite a relaxed start so
it was perfect as a warm up. It starts off very quiet but with the odd
sharp blast here and there to make sure you don't get lulled into a
false sense of security. It also has a background whine that
occasionally cuts through. After which you get all sorts of strange
chanting in the background and odd noises.


Midway through I left the traffic behind and hit the backroads. I turned
the walkman up a bit.


At this point, about 12-15 minutes in, it starts to get a bit spacey
with the sort of noises you hear in 50's B movies. With all the
wooshing around inside my helmet, it was starting to give me a more
elated feeling. I hit the hill and switched off the lights completly
and rode up the hill, about 1/2 mile long, with a spaceship
landing/taking off kind of noise. By the time I got to the top, the
adrenalin rush and loud spacey noises coupled with the weird moonlight
was starting to give me one of those "This is why!" kind of attitudes
when you realise there is nothing on earth that beats how you feel just
then. I chilled out on this vibe for a another ten minutes or so
listening to the noises. The latter part of the track gradually
slowing down and getting less complex but still fairly uplifting. It
has some large synthetic noise hits that blast your ears here with
quite a bit of distortion. They gradually get less and slower towards
the end. I reached the woods and finished the track with a quick blast
around and let the walkman run it's course naturally to give a gap
before switching sides. (about 3 minutes as I used a C74 cassette)


In that time I gave some thought to how the track went. All in all, I'd
say it's fairly good but you have to really submerse yourself in it.
The one thing which I thought could be better is the mix. A lot of the
noises are the sort that should wash around your head from left to
right, top to bottom etc. It could have been mixed better to give a
more 3d in your head experience. In this way, people like the Orb and
Future Sound of London create some really interesting stuff although it
comes from a more club/chillout room vein.


I pressed play on the walkman for track two. "Avebury: The arranged
marriage of heaven and earth".


Immediatley, I was filled with a deep sense of foreboding. Ok, I was in
the woods, in the dark, on a night with a full moon but the lurking
evilness of the sound was starting to freak me out. I decided to go
faster so that anything behind me wouldn't catch me. Bang!, a chainsaw
type synth cut through my hearing. This track was a lot louder than the
first. Rather than turn it down, I persisted hoping it would calm down
in a bit. Nope.


After a few laps round the woods, I left for the road, thinking I'd
feel safer there. The foreboding followed. It was starting to remind me
of "Forbidden Planet" both for the music and for the "monsters of the
id" theme. I had the id-monster stuck in my head now and was half
expecting it to be running behind me, ready to pounce. Perhaps it was
the adrenalin talking.


I don't particularly remember too much of the track other than the fact
that it wasn't a nice experience. It isn't as musical as "Superstar"
and doesn't have any particular parts to it that go anywhere.


Safe to say, it was a relief when I stuck my old favorite Doors album
into my walkman and headed off back into the woods with "Peopl are
strange" ringing in my ears.


marks out of ten....


track 1  -  8 out of ten
track 2  -  4 out of ten ( maybe 5 if I could find the right
                           environment to listen to it )


The views expressed here are of course my opinion only. I think JC's
description of it as a Kosmic Tripout is apt though. Both a good trip
and a bad one.

Yo Travis,


The JC list has been a bit quiet of late (or at least
I haven't received anything for ages) so I'd assumed it had
died a death and haven't posted anything about what Copey's
been up to.


Anyway, the new album came out on Monday of this week. Queen
Elizabeth is the name of the 'band' as well as the album - a
postcard from KAK written by Julian said that the name was chosen
because the present owner of the name doesn't deserve the title
anymore.


I've only just bought the album so I can't comment on the content 
yet, so here's the info printed on the CD cover:


Queen Elizabeth - 2 spontaneous concertos for time & space


Part 1 - superstar (34.00)
Part 2 - avebury: the arranged marriage of heaven & earth (31.30)


Destroy the Monarchy - Take out the Trash


Queen Elizabeth is:


thighpaulsandra - arp, ppg & moog synthesizers, ring modulators & potentiometers


julian cope - starchamber, piano & realistic synth, 
              digital distortion & percussion


More details on Monday once I've listened to the thing.


Cheers,


Brian.

RE: Shaun Murray review...


Hi Shaun - which woods were these?  And more importantly where did you find
your copy of Queen Elizabeth...?  I'm living in Hungerford, moving to 
Kingsclere next week, and a search of Basingstoke and Newbury has so far 
reveled no new Julian lp...

G'day,


Here is an interview with the Arch Drood I thought might interest you.  It's
from the Consumable Fanzine.  It's fairly cool, to subscribe mail Bob Gajarsky
(gajarsky@pilot.njin.net).  Anyhow, without further ado...


---
        Road Tripping: Interview With Julian Cope       
        If there ever was a pop star seemingly earmarked to end up trampling 
down rock's road to ruin, it was Julian Cope. He did Britain's Top of The Pops
bent on acid, his band (The Teardrop Explodes) fell into ruins despite their 
enormous success in the early eighties largely because he became a "grand 
asshole," and for a time trifled with the likes of Kurt Cobain's widow, 
Courtney Love.
        But somewhere in the midst of one of Britain's psychedelic revivals 
(there have been at least...oh, somewhere near 42 by now if you've kept pace 
with the UK music press..), Julian constructed _Peggy Suicide_, a double long 
player heavily laden with apocalyptic musings and trippy soundscapes that 
lifted Julian from the pop slag heap. The next thing he knew, he was nabbing 
four star reviews from Rolling Stone and having rock gods like Zepplin 
frontman Robert Plant pointing to him when journalists would ask what he 
thought was "happening" today in music.
        But in true Cope fashion, Julian diffused his second coming by giving 
his record company another pricey double lp (_Jehovahkill_) to push that 
seemed much "weirder" to the suits than _Peggy_ was, and by mid-tour he was 
dropped. But consequently, _Jehovahkill_ did do well and Julian went along 
his way unconcerned about where his future in recording lay.
        "I'm going to be doing these things in twenty years, if there's still
a world here, this is what I'll be doing so it doesn't really worry me." he 
says camped out in the Long Island home of his American mother-in-law.
        And even if he never does make put another track to tape, Julian is 
still neck-up in other projects. He's just finished a personal memoir of his
early history entitled "Head On" and about a year off from completing a 
comprehensive traveler's guide of sorts to the hundreds of Stone monuments 
strewn across the British Isles. Beyond that there's a collection of prose 
due compiled from his extensive journals and foremost these days is his 
family. In May of this year Julian's wife Dorian gave birth to their second 
baby girl, which they've named Avalon. After Dorian had their first child 
(Albany) by way of modern medicines, the couple decided to put a more natural 
slant on this delivery. 
        "This time Dorian was very cool about it. We went to a cottage in 
England where she didn't have the choice of those heavy drugs. So we listened
to Tangerine Dream, ate hash cookies, and had gas and air. Which was pretty 
far out."
        With his his speech pock marked with dated hippy terminology and his 
album covers smeared with his neo-pagan attitudes, Julian only narrowly avoids
the tag "cheap new age cavalier" which he uses to refer to himself on his 
latest release, _Autogeddon_.
        _Autogeddon_ is the third socio-cosmic release from Cope in the last 
three years. It's the near manic and sonically fragmented saga of Julian 
behind the wheel "pissed off on the motorways of Britain." The tracks careen 
between the extremes of brisk toe-tappers and long rambling semi-instumental 
passages.
        With Julian's travelling around gathering material for his tour guide,
he's witnessed and felt the impact of having ancient territories violated in 
the name of having a snappier route to the city or the seashore. 
        "You see the differences between a British Autogeddon and an American 
Autogeddon are very pronounced. With Britain, any large, four lane road that 
is built fucks up a community which is close to 1,500 years old. In America if
you build a highway, it's going to go trash some Indian sacred ground which is
fine for white people because the landscape doesn't mean anything to them 
within the last three or four hundred that they've been here. Which is still 
powerful, but it isn't the same."
        But while he rails against commuter culture he also reckons with the 
inevitability of travel in our times (as put forth in "There Ain't No Getting
'Round Getting 'Round) but insists, at length, that the journey has been 
spoiled for us. The current availability of fax service to the Wailing Wall,
for those who can't get there by traditional means to put up their prayers, 
is a fitting example.
        "People have actually broken the link between the pilgramage to and 
the arrival at." he says. "They've said that isn't important. If you make the
road straight, it means that you're no longer looking at the landscape while 
you're traveling because you're too busy concentrating about staying on the 
road. Once you do that, your journey deteriorates in importance to the point 
where the journey is only a means to get there. We spend a lot of time in the
West, the North, and the far South of Britain because that's where the Romans 
didn't get to."
        The psychology of all this winds it's way on to the album. On 
"Drivin' On the Fast Side of Slow" Cope paints pictures of himself crawling 
through the windy back roads of places like Cornwall where the thoroughfares 
were originally cut out of the land in 2000 B.C.
        "You get a completely different way of thinking." he explains, 
illustrating the sensation. "You have to travel between 20 or 30 mph. Once 
that happens, your sense drops slowly. You go beyond been angry, because you 
realize you have forty miles of this and it's going to take you three or four 
hours to get there. If you took a train from New York to Boston you'd spend 
most of the time in the countryside, thinking in terms of  'This is great 
virtual reality, I can't wait to get to Boston.' But because there's not 
enough of it to interest you and there's too much of it to grab your 
attention, it becomes sort of general outdoorness."
        It must all seem like psychobabble to some, but to Julian these are 
the seeds of our cultural indifference and out eventual undoing where people 
spend so much time bustling through the now just to arrive at next, there is 
no sense of the future. While U2 spend time hanging with William Gibson and 
envisioning "virtual nightclubs," Cope's stance is the complete polar 
opposite. Last year he drummed up a good bit of flak slash cheap publicity 
for himself by posing for a photo with a t-shirt he made that had a not too 
flattering quote from Larry Mullen Jr. (U2's stick-man) printed on it. The 
Irish mega-cyber-band have often by a favorite target for Julian's verbal 
bashing, but his opinion of them has softened a touch.
        "I find them less insufferable now. Just because..[their work and 
image]... is so completely all over the place, they don't know anything. At 
least before, they were these horrible prigs, slugging for Jesus. But now 
they're just slugging for themselves so they've been beaten. You know Bono 
thinks it's great to be ironic and smoke sharoots. So it's like, if that's 
the point great. It doesn't matter how big he get's now, you know somebody is 
gonna shoot the bastard someday and that'll be great." he says ending with 
a chuckle.
        But U2 fans won't have an opportunity for rebuttal this year as Cope 
won't be able to tour the country behind _Autogeddon_ as he had hoped. 
Between the book work and children and setting down the next set of songs, 
Julian's schedule is completely booked for sometime to come. Next year there 
should be a companion piece (entitled "Propheteering") to his autobiography 
which will include 50 poems, all his lyrics and except from the 800 pages 
worth of journals he's recently had bound up. The next record will include 
songs that are "...really devotional..." in nature, breaking up the heavy 
doom factor of the past three albums. As we approach the millenium, which 
might be the worst psychological trauma a generation may have to endure, 
Cope sees his role as a touch more theraputic.
        "I think artists have got to be psychologists." he muses. "I don't 
think they always have to be and I don't think they always will have to be, 
but I think now they have to be. I think we are here to help see people 
through and all I see is a bunch of artists who don't have much of a clue 
about anything. " Oblivious to the depth of our discussion is Julian's 
daughter Albany, who can be heard happily playing and singing in the 
background. "I suppose that, looking back, all I'm trying to do now is 
prepare people for the twenty first century."

Status: R


     Hi all,
     I just picked up this lp.  It isn't a recent boot (I'd guess from 
     around `91).  The cover isn't much to speak about, a black and white 
     picture of young Julian on the cover, and a smaller b&w picture of 
     Julian in a nightie on the back.
     

     Please note. the disjointed sentences are not my own, they are from 
     the notes on the back of the album.  I'll give a full report of the 
     quality when I have a chance to give it a decent listen.
     

     John
     

     
     

     Julian Cope & The Teardrop Explodes - Scream Secrets
     A collection of unreleased songs as well as very alternate versions of 
     released material by far too good to be left unheard.
     A fan made record 400 copies
     

     Side One (28:50)
     You Better Scream / Make That Move, Baby
     You Better Scream was originally written and recorded by Julian Cope's 
     old mate Pete Wylie and his band Wah! as their debut single in 1979.  
     This Teardrop's version was never released and recorded once, on a 
     BBC-session for Richard Skinner, August 12, 1981.
     

     ... And the Fighting Takes Over
     From the same session, a beautiful rendition of this song. later in 
     the year released on the Wilder lp.
     

     You Disappear From View
     This version differs enormously from the one originally released as 
     the last Teardrops' single in 1983.  This recording, in session for 
     the BBC's Kid Jenson on July 8, 1982 is almost a Julian Cope solo 
     performance, only accompanied by electric guitar and a splash of 
     synthesizer.
     

     The Loving Kind
     Another Julian Cope solo performance, this time, of a John Cale song.  
     Never released before, this track dates from a Richard Skinner 
     session, May 6, 1981.
     

     For Years
     The third totally unreleased Teardrops' gem on this compilation so 
     far, as recorded, again, for a Richard Skinner session January 20, 
     1981.
     

     The Great Dominion
     From the same session an early, more experimental version of this 
     song, who was originally intended as the title track of the second 
     Teardrops' album.
     

     S.P.Q.R.
     A storming live version of a good song, recorded live in Tokyo on July 
     27, 1985.  By far better than the official released studio version, 
     hidden away as a b side to 5 O'clock World in 1989.
     

     Suffocate
     A classic, this song was only released as a b-side to You Disappear 
     From View in 1983.  This here version was recorded live on a BBC 
     concert in May, 1981.
     

     Side B (27:45)
     Screaming Secretes
     From the same concert, comes this track, the Teardrops' version of a 
     song, who was recorded by Julian Cope five(!) years later for this 
     third solo LP, Saint Julian.
     

     
     The following six songs are studio outtakes and alternate versions 
     recorded in 1982, mainly for the third Teardrops' album, which was 
     intended to be a double set, but in the end it was not released at 
     all.  That is, until 1990, eight years after completion, when a single 
     album, Everybody Wants To Shag ... was released.
     

     The Butcher's Tale
     But this instrumental piece, recorded with strings, was not on it.
     

     Suffocate.
     You've heard this song before, performed live, but this time the 
     track, complete with string arrangements, sounds totally different, 
     almost like a piece of chamber music from a long time ago. {editors 
     note - I think this version was released on the 12" version of You 
     Disappear From view}
     

     Tiny Children
     This song was released on the second Teardrops' lp Wilder, but, 
     again,, in a very different from.  Here it is recorded with acoustic 
     guitar, organ and strings.
     

     Blaze Star
     A short piece of mood music, never used.
     

     Log Cabin
     Another beautiful song who never made it onto vinyl.  The question 
     remains, Why not?
     

     Flipped Out on LSD
     This short excerpt from a long experimental piece says it all.  Rumour 
     has it that this was planned as a single under the pseudonym Place de 
     la Concorde in 1982.
     

     My Indifference
     This song, again unavailable elsewhere, was recorded for a Kid Jenson 
     BBC session, July 8, 1982
     

     
     For the last two tracks on this album, we have dugged deep in the 
     archives for some very vintage Teardrops' material.
     

     Ha! Ha! I'm Drowning
     This completely different version of the Kilimanjaro track comes form 
     the first Teardrops' BBC session for John Peel, October 2, 1979.
     

     ... or "I Could Strangle Pete Wylie"
     This otherwise unknown instrumental was recorded live in Liverpool, 
     September 17, 1979.

          Certainly tripped out! Impressed? Well, not in a special
     way, but it is nice. I have it, and also have an extra copy
     on order. Queen Elizabeth's little buy sticker on the front
     I recall has some kind of significance? Where and how do I
     send this off for a "special" CD? Is it "I gotta Walk"? BTW,
     I'm working on my local DJs to play this track. I figured
     American Recordings would push AUTOGEDDON just a little bit.
     So far, all I've seen is it highlighted as a special selection
     in the Columbia record and tape club. They sent out promo
     singles for MC 900 ft.Jesus, why not for Julian,eh? What about
     American Recordings attracted him? All mysteries doomed to
     never be solved. Call Matlock.....

If anyone in the Uk is after the Queen Elizabeth Cd, the cheapest place
that I have found it is BeeBees mail order (0245 323676).  I got mine 
for 10.99, no postage charge.


Is it worth it?  Hmmm.  I've only played it once, and I'm not convinced
yet.  I prefer it when he gets into a groove (like Rite).  All this
bleeping and blooping and going shoom seems to have been done before (and
better) by Tangerine Dream 20 years ago.  It s probably more a mood/background
thing rather than an upfront 'listening to' album.  


It will probably grow on me though...


Just sent off for the freebie CD also.  stuck the sticker inside a used
envelope, and posted it off to KAK.  I've alsked for a copy of the latest
merchandise list as well.


groove on.

I got QE finally, and it is weird.  Listened to it twice.  The second song
is very scary at times.  I was typing a paper in my room, with the lights on,
in the middle of the day, and that sound (can't describe it) came on an
it just started to freak me out.  Had to turn the music waaayyyyy down after
that.  Sheesh.


The Big Takeover is great!!!!!!!!!  I just got issues 20-35 in the
mail recently, and I love it!!!!  


Gotta go

Big TakeOver is a magazine that Jack Rabid (drummer for Springhouse)
started way back in 1980.  THe first few issues are maybe 1 or 2 pages
long.  THe most recont (#35) is about 200 pages long.  He has interviews
galore now, but my favorite is his top 40 albums.  BT comes out every
6 months or so now, and the address is (from memory):


Jack Rabid
249 Edridge St #14
NY, NY 10002


You can order the back issues.


THe address for Kak is:

Hello, hello!


Guess what - I finally finished recording my version of "Sleeping Gas!"  Yeah!
I had to guess as some of the lyrics (anyone know 'em?) and I sang a bit higher
than Cope (uggg, my voice!)  I really can't sing, and I couldn't do any solos
because that would break the Teardrop feel (I tend toward jazz).  Anyway, 
I hope to get my "band" together this winter, and I'll introduce them to
KILIMANJARO and see which songs they want to cover (KILI fits our 
instrumentation the best).  


Take care everybody, and good luck on your cover versions!


Travis


.s. Happy Holidays to those of you heading home for break!

It's neat that Columbia house has advertised AUTOGEDDON in its last 2 issues.
There's a nice photo of Cope with his mohawk there.  :)


So far, 2 songs have been "claimed" regarding covers: 
   Sleeping Gas
   Fear Loves This Place


I'm really excited about putting together this covers tape.  So, even if all
you can do is sing, or play the piano, go ahead and mail me a tape!  
The Deadline is going to be pushed back to, say, the end of January (ha ha
I've said that before!)  The idea of it, of course, is to provide incentive...


I arrived home from school yesterday, and found my postcard from Julian
(re: QE).  Yeah!  That means I'm on the Kak Mailing list!!!  Ironic, because
yesterday morning (before i got back) I wrote a letter to them asking them to
put me on, and telling them a little about this list.


Take care everyone!  


Travis

Just letting all the canucks on the list that Sam's in Toronto has
Queen Eliz. in, but are charging $37 for it. CDBar also has it in now,
and they've got Head On as well. You can order by 800 number from
the CD Bar; call 800-555-1212 to find out the number, I live just
up the street from them, so I don't know it...


A week or so ago one track from QE was played at 4:30 AM on the CBC-FM
show Nightlines (excellent show, BTW). I think the name of the track
was SuperStar? At any rate, I got it on tape, but it's not compelling
enough to want to listen to it very much. From memory, it sounded like
they'd put on an echo effect, and forgot to turn it off or change it at all.
Some of the sounds were cool, and the tape-speed manipulation effect is
neat, even if cheesy. I think there were some cool moans and howls, and
weren't there some really mumbled words near the start?
Dave Wisdom (nightlines dj) said it was the first and last time it would ever
be played on the CBC, and that the only reason he played it at all was 
because Cope fans had been bugging him. Glad I didn't pay $37 for this!

ps still trying to get a band together to do a cover. My drummer wants
to play industrial acid-jazz (yeah, whatever), my guitarist options
either want to play Green Day or 70s fusion. But I've got a nice set
of effects pedals for my bass now. I want to do a slow, chorusy, gothed-up
version of something... any suggestions?

Well - I got my freebie CD of 'Paranormal'.  No great shakes, but
ok.  Theres a cool version recorded with a string quartet, and an instrumental
version with lots of squelchy noises.


A couple of reviews of Queen Elizabeth have appeared, all slagging it.
I have to be honest - I havent bothered with my copy since I got it.

Hello!  Happy 1995!


    Got my postcard, got my EP (hmmmm)...  Sent a letter to Kak 
further plugging our list (persistance persistance)...
    

    Is this the decline of Julian Cope?  Does anyone think QE
is brilliant?  Does anyone think the Paranormal EP is just a
selling gimmick to get people to buy QE?  Hmmmm...


    Well, hopefully Cope's forthcoming "Really Devotional" album
will have a little more time and heart put into it.  I find 
Jehovahkill growing on me more and more (yes, Jehovahkill).  Maybe
the fuss over the blue cover, maybe the beautiful sleeve, maybe`
the gold-colored CD.... It seems so well thought-out.  The songs
coalesce.  Autogeddon seems to be fighting itself.  I don't know
why I've been looking nostalgically back at Jehovahkill, which I
thought was dead at the time, and why Autogeddon seems so CHEAP
next to it.  Hmmm.  


   Well, there's always the Chameleons.  THey will never die.

Hi 
I've beeen a big Cope/Teardrops fan for a long time (saw them in NYC in '81
the first time)  
But, I have to say that Autogedden really let me down, and from what I've
read about QE. I hope Julian isn't starting to beleive his legend a bit too
much.

  I would haZarD to say no on this one. I think Julian's
take on QE was that he was trying to approximate some of 
the kraut-rock stuff that he was into way back when. Which
might have been a by-product of having relived some of that
personal era when working on "Head On," where he mentions
Can, eTc alot.
  As for "Auto" being a disappointment...er, uh, well...
I'd still have to say that it seems like a natural 
continuation from "Jehovah." If Julian was more geared 
mentally to being pop successful, he might have waited,
and culled the best from Auto, QE, and the devotional
record and made something of a smash album. But I don't
think that's the way he approaches projects. They come 
across to me as all different mindsets. Besides, if he
were more pop-headed, he probably wouldn't have left Island
for smaller labels.

About a month or so ago, someone on this list posted the telephone number of a 
mail-order place in England called BeeBee's, which had the Queen Victoria 
album for sale. I've lost the telephone number AND the original email 
unfortunately. 


DOes anybody still have that number? I need to call them back because I have 
not yet received my stuff (though it's been billed to my credit card.)


Thanks very much,

>>     Is this the decline of Julian Cope?  Does anyone think QE

Hm... indeed...  I have to say that I liked QE (am I the only one 
out there?).  Personally, I think the negative reaction is simply
because this is not what Cope listeners expect, and consequentially
not what they're into (most music magazines seem stuck back in 
the days of "5 O'clock World", and most Cope fans seem to want 
another Peggy Suicide -- though maybe I'm over-generalizing here).
I will admit that, when I want to listen to music, I will still 
reach for Fried or Peggy Suicide or Skellington first (these, after
all, fit the idea of "music" much more closely), but when I want
something in the background while I'm writing, or something similar
where I need to concentrate more on what I'm doing, QE is perfect.
It is also excellent when I want to just relax (has anyone else tried
meditating with this? -- It's really good).  I think this is more the
purpose Cope recorded it for.  I'm not sure he ever intended it to be
"brilliant" or a "masterpiece."


I will admit, however, that I listen to a lot of experimental electronic
music, so my tolerance for such things is higher than a lot of people
I know.  What I'm not entirely sure of, however, is how Cope ties it in
to the so-called "kraut-rock" (what does this term mean, anyway?) which
he says so much about.  My understanding is that he's talking about
Can, Tangerine Dream, and other bands like that, and I really don't see
a lot of similarities between them and QE.  QE makes me think more of
Throbbing Gristle-meets-ambient or something of that sort.


As for the EP, I'm not sure what to think...  I don't think it was
meant as a selling point, because the only people who knew about it
were the people on KAK's mailing list (and the people on this list :),
and they were the ones most likely to go out and buy a new Cope
release right away anyway.  It's interesting, and sort of cool to have
a Cope disc that few other people have (complete with personalized 
address label and British stamp (anyone notice it was a picture of
Queen Elisabeth herself?!? -- at least on the ones mailed to the U.S. ;)
on the cover), but I have to admit I won't really listen to it that
much.  Perhaps the best part for me was that, on the Avebury version,
he clearly says "Buckingham Palace," rather than the apparent "Fuckingham
Palace" on the other versions (including the album), so I've been able
to use it in my radio broadcasts.  Other than that, though, I don't 
know.  It would have been nice to have one or two new songs on it (surely
he could have dug something out of the vaults...), but I guess that 
wasn't to happen.  Who, other than Julian himself, could possibly guess
what his real purpose was?


As far as the decline of Julian Cope, I'm still willing to have faith.
He's had is down times before (Saint Julian was enough to make anyone
give up), and he's recovered stronger than ever.  I think he can do
it again.

compilation.  I hope no one has claimed it already or else I will have to
do another one.  Where do I send this tape?  Thanks for keeping us Cope fans
so well informed.

   Oh yeah, my girlfriend made me a Cope T-Shirt for my birthday!  She
cut out the ad to Autogeddon in the Columbia House magazine (Cope's

did the rest!  So now I have a blowup of Mr. Mohawk himself on my chest!


Take care everyone.  A new semester is underway!

OK, then, anyone else out there still waiting for their free CD 
following the misguided purchase of Queen Elizabeth?

Last week I received PKWYKES's "Sunspots" cover and it sounded great!


So, just a reminder to everyone that the deadline is... um...


Okay, on another note (nice pun eh?), I am back in Williamsburg
so anyone who wants to trade bootlegs with me can go ahead and email
me.  :)


Hope everyone is having a cool (he he) January.


Trav


p.s. way to go Chargers!!!

Hi y'all - time to de-lurk. My name's James Dignan, I'm a 31 year old
masters student in Psychology from New Zealand (where Julian Cope info is
thin on the ground...)


What's all this about a covers tape? (I only ask because the band I'm in
performs Great Dominions and Head Hang Low, so I think I've missed out on
somethin here)

Hey, James - welcome to the speaking part of the COpe list!  ;)

re: covers
  
   A few months ago I  asked people if they were interested in contributing
cover songs of Cope/Teardrop material.  All you have to do is send recordings
of any Cope/Teardrop covers you do to me, and I'll be putting together the
compilation tape to mail to everyone.  :)

So if you are already performing Head Hang Low and Great Dominions, you are
way ahead of the rest of us!  My address is:

Travis Emmitt
416 Merrimac Trail Apt. #6
Williamsburg VA 23185
USA

Here's some info y'all might be interested in writing down:

IPR (Independent Project Records) is currently working on their new
mail-order catalog.  I'm very psyched about seeing this, especially since
FOr Against's new album is supposed to be coming out in a couple of
weeks.  

For those of you unfamiliar with IPR, they are an American label that
put out Savage Republic, For Against, Fourwaycross, Half String, Woo,
etc.  Sure, most of these bands you probably have never heard of; neither
had I until I started my massive mail-orders from them.

So, here's the address for the IPR mail-order catalog:

IPR Mail Order
PO Box 1483
Tempe, AZ 85280


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Secondly, the Big Takeover deserves mention upon mention.  For those of
you who have never heard of the BT, it is an alternative mag by Jack 
Rabid (drummer for ex-band Springhouse).  It comes out about once every six
months.  THe last issue, number 36, came out a few weeks ago.  Right now
the mag's about 200 pages, lots of interviews, tons of reviews, and
very insightfully written editorials and opening statements by Jack.

Great mag, definately want to check it out.  A warning, though: he is
not a Cope lover, so don't expect a goldmine of Cope articles in it.
He does, however, worship the Chameleons, which gives him tons of
creditability in my eyes.

Jack's address:

Jack Rabid
249 Eldridge St. #14
NY, NY 10002

Oh yeah, BT #36 costs $4.50 (if you are in the US), $5 if you are in
canada, $6 anywhere else.  Great stuff.
