JULIAN COPE :: The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro and WILDER (Buff Manilla) - URBANASPIRINES


Urbanaspirines has turned up trumps (again!) here with a triple album tribute article on Julian Cope and his work with Teardrop Explodes specifically three albums worth of treasures (apparently with Julian's blessing) as the Deluxe edition featuring Kilimanjaro plus Bates Motel 1978 - 1980, and the BBC sessions from 1980.

and still more

Teardrop Explodes - WILDER + Buff Manilla

The Teardrop Explodes: Wilder 1981  + Extra Tracks From The American Mini Album: Buff Manilla 1982?

It should be noted perhaps that Julian has written two fantastic books; The Modern Antiquarian an erudite and studiously academic work on ancients sites across Great Britain and a companion volume on sites in Europe. Both go for serious money now so if you find them in second hand bookshops BUY them!

[on checking the Modern Antiquarian is going for over a £100 now and Megalithic European upwards of £150]
