THE TEARDROP EXPLODES Reward

great miming!

wash my cotton socks im in the news!

Yep, Julian moved away from Deri (where I grew up) at a very early age. He actually called in at my house in New Road one time, when I wrote to Zoo Records after loving the Sleeping Gas E.P. He signed their first 5 singles that I had .... and I still have them :) If times get hard, there's always eBay :)

They're a Liverpool band lad,Cope is Welsh born.

Is that Troy Tate playing the horn? I met him in a pub circa 1985 - he ws managing another band supporting the Lotus Eaters - wonder what he is up to now

@sandprof. Troy Tate was on the second albim Wilder, so I don't think he was on this song. I also met him a few times in the bar I managed in Smithfield/London round about the same time, wonder if we're talking about the same bar.

Nice one TRS. I met him in the George pub before a Lotus Eaters gig at Borough Road circa April 1985. He was the manager for the LE but I did not know who he was TE-wise. My mate was in a band Crucilble Feints and was a bit more in the scene than I

They deserve their rewards! I love this song.

Blue rinses, purple rinses they were the top Nan's hair styles in Bargoed and Phillipstown fantastic.

that's awesome. it's weird finding out years later a song is saying something completely different, like smells like TEAM spirit. "with the light out, it's contagious." okay then.
