Julian Cope - Greatness And Perfection Of Love

[askaturtle]

comments for what is perfect is what is love.

[darkstu1]

THE GREATEST IMPERFECTION IS LOVE.........

Think you'll find that is the title.

[69Klash69]

Saint Julian!! One of my favorite tunes of his. A great album. Such a fun-loving guy, he seems, very witty. FRIED!

[replicas11]

Passionate Friend Julian Cope. YES.

[Mayhemdog]

Beautifully crafted song, so much better than the mindless dross churned out nowadays.Thank god for the internet so we can listen and watch these gems still :)

[djh29971]

Baa, baa baa, baa baa....

[fhionaG]

one of my all time fave songs-can't get enough of it!

[jewells051]

have got this on vinyl x :)

[marycigarettes]

he's a doll methinks

[ollypopsbexcoppa]

He was never gonna compete with Howard Jones and Nick Heyward was he, now, EH??????????????

[darkstu1]

@ollypopsbexcoppa at least he's still going unlike them......

[ollypopsbexcoppa]

Good song, but doesn't really go anywhere..a bit like Cope at the time...........

[yeoviljunction]

The Greatness and Perfection of Julian Cope in just over 3 minutes.

[beketaten]

That is so beautifully clever.

[andrewlewis963]

cant stand snobs

[Seanogoals]

For me one of Julian Cope's best songs.

Love it.

[KizzyDog01]

OK! Not a bad track.

But I can never forgive Julian for splitting up the Teardrop's. That sound was unique.

[postyesterdayman]

Balfe's insistence on taking over songwriting split the TX. Listen to 'Piano' as proof.

[vilepete]

What a crime to leave pearls like this forgotten to mainstream irrelevances...

Major songwriting

[leigh2040]

totally agree, a monster song, first time i have seen it since playing it to death on lp

[bugpowderdust27]

I picked this 7" on Ebay for £3 & that was including P&P.

Perfect pop.

I find a lot of younger people always come up to me when I'm playing it, asking who it is. They think it's a brand new track & are blown away it's 20yrs old.

[wefting]

@bugpowderdust27 you got a bargin

[replicas11]

@bugpowderdust27 keep playing the good songs dont deprive the younger generation of artists like julian cope, its a crime not to let them hear his music,. THE GREAT DOMINIONS. 

[wildenfree]

Give me Julian in the eighties/early nineties. - Teardrop,Fried,St Julian.....

Then ,for me, he lost it

[oogie11]

@wildenfree I see what yu mean...I mean, everyone liked the Peggy Suicide album, but I don't like it much....his first 2 solo albums, the song 'World Shut Your Mouth', and of course The Teardrop Explodes, that was all good, but the late 80s albums, hmm, not my cup of tea

[stellaviolens]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Nice tune that got me through a few.

[MadameBeekeeper]

this whole album helped me get through high school.

[catblanket14uk]

Why is this album, and Saint Julian so bloody hard to get in the shops?

[Eldritchard]

becuase the general populace has poor taste?

[brunosis]

It's not.

[catblanket14uk]

If you could tell me where, i'd sing your praises all over Julian Cope on YT!

I want these for my collection :

Saint Julian , WSYM, Jehovah Kill, My Nation Underground.

[brunosis]

St Julian - £19.99 Amazon

WSYM - £17 HMV

Jehovahkill (2CD) - £9.99 HMV

My Nation Underground - £13.98 Amazon

I daresay you could get many of these cheaper via eBay!

[catblanket14uk]

Thanks.

[wildenfree]

[TheDianaver]

Julian the fox!

[giNgkoC]

Julian pre-empts Diamonds and Pearls by Se7en years!

bunch of half century c*nts

(in a good way)

[adelamere1]

...and kevin ayers...

[stahrmonroe]

he looks a lot like peter perrett

[Eldritchard]

I wonder if hes really sayin greatness and perfection. It always sounds like the greatest imperfection is love.

[agchoco]

I agree...

[Reint25]

Of course the title doesn't have to be the same as the lyric. Which, in this case, is the case (?).

Great song, by the way. What a discovery!

[jonahstevenson]

to give my life, so much meaning?

[frandelico]
