K SPECIAL : Julian Cope & The Teardrop Explodes - The Greatest Hits: 45th Anniversary 1978-2023 


K SPECIAL

"In celebration of 45 years since Julian Cope formed The Teardrop Explodes in Liverpool 1978 here is my 2CD special presentation set of The Teardrop Explodes and Julian Cope's very best work.

There has never been a truly comprehensive set of their best work all in one place featuring all the classic single hits (with many in their original 7" single form of edits and remixes), the best B-sides and album tracks.

This 45-track set features the very latest and highest quality digital remasters, with a considerable number of tracks sourced from the original master tapes for superior sound quality and enjoyment."



"Following the band's dissolution, Julian Cope began a career as a solo artist, writer and cultural commentator which continues to this day.

Cope is also an author on Neolithic culture, publishing The Modern Antiquarian in 1998, and a political and cultural activist with a public interest in occultism and paganism. He has written two volumes of autobiography, Head-On (1994) and Repossessed (1999); two volumes of archaeology, The Modern Antiquarian (1998) and The Megalithic European (2004); and three volumes of musicology, Krautrocksampler (1995), Japrocksampler (2007); and Copendium: A Guide to the Musical Underground (2012). K - BUTTERBOY

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]
