<?fontfamily><?param Times><?bigger><?bigger>I know there are at least one
or two Julian Cope fans here, but I just picked up this lilve album via
Cope's own website, <?color><?param

ROCK! Recorded on the Peggy Suicide tour, this amazingly fresh-sounding
recording (formerly a bootleg?) finds the Arch-Drude in fighting form. Prior
to the excesses of later work (the rest of his "eco-trilogy" is patchy), the
Peggy Suicide -era Cope still had one foot planted firmly in rocktacity and
the other in effortless pop-hook mastery. Particularly amazing is Donald
Ross Skinner's guitar, which is positively feral in comparison to his studio
work. Me likey!!!! Crowd noise is completely inaudible, by the way. 

It leans rather heavily on Peggy Suicide material (which is fine by me,
honestly), but i wouldn't have minded a bit more of a mix (I'd like
"Reyndard the Fox" to have been included, alas). 

The track list, incidentally: 
"Hanging Out and Hung Up on the Line" 
"You Think It's Love" 
"East Easy Rider" (really extended version) 
"Pristeen" 
"Double Vegetation" 
"Promised Land" 
"Leperskin" 
"Yeah Yeah Yeah" 
"Bill Drummond Said" 
"Beautiful Love" 
"Sleeping Gas" 
"Sunspots" 
"Out of My Mind on Dope and Speed" 
"World Shut Your Mouth" 

Anyway, just thought I'd pass that on.
