Julian Cope - Bandy's First Jump

[ollypopsbexcoppa]

This should have been the 3rd Teardrop album, but Balfe wouldn't have it.......Would have been a better album under The Teardrop Explodes banner.

not heard this since 84 fucking genius i tell ye

This album and Fried were Julian Cope's best in my opinion, and obviously, the Teardrop Explodes songs were brill...but his late 80s LPs I never really liked much

jesus, sounds just like inspiral carpets.... or rather inspiral carpets sound just like this!

[theface79]

exactly what I just thought

[oogie11]

@Oscar301 I think Inspiral Carpets were inspired by the Teardrop Explodes, definitely with the keyboard sound :)

One of his greatest, and a true album opener.

I often have to think: he´s the Syd who made it. Glad he´s still around and well.

Have you seen this amazing interview with his wife Dorian on the parking lot?
