Julian Cope

Europe first press 1988. Promo sleeve.
This is him being almost normal. Almost. Big bright hook. Proper pop chorus. Then you listen closer and it’s still Cope being slightly odd round the edges. There’s always something a bit off. It’s catchy though. Annoyingly so. You’ll hum it. Then pretend you’re above it. You’re not. FFO The Teardrop Explodes aftermath vibes, Echo & the Bunnymen shiny mid 80s, The Psychedelic Furs, The Waterboys when it goes big
