[kj] OT: Julian Cope's LIVE JAPAN `91

[Alexander Smith]

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, 
http://www.headheritage.com and FUCK ME DOES IT EVER 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.
