JULIAN COPE Cold War Psychedelia (2021 UK/EU limited edition vinyl LP - Exhilarating! Dynamic! 1982 music from the death throes of Liverpool’s 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 2’s tumbling musical collage taken from the same 1982 recording sessions – this time, however, they are overladen with Cope’s earliest autobiographical attempts.Yes, herein are contained 1989’s Head-On reflections: spoken word delivered over a mysterious and distinctively Teardrop Explodes Post-Punk sound. Clad in appropriately intriguing packaging. Doesn’t feature Reward-type hits anywhere herein’! Picture sleeve retains its open factory shrinkwrap and the vinyl looks unplayed HH39).
