In Praise of....Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

What a mad album.

put it on while I did laundry this morning, still a fun rollercoaster ride through all sorts of stuff... Leperskin and Las Vegas Basement sounding especially nice.

I did mention a JC demo cassette upthread, I did eventually sell it to a super fan who sent me a complete analysis of each track, most of which I had thought were the same as eventually released with three or four exceptions. Turns out they were all different except for two or three exceptions.

It did get a write up in Record Collector a few years later. Still unheard by the genpub, not even on bootleg or download.

I still have my copyoff, obviously.

share that shit with the rest of the class

was always annoyed they left "Uptight" off the deluxe CD edition

I loved this when it came out. Still feels to me like the pinnacle of his output

They should have added "Jung kie" to the deluxe, but never mind.

Never got why people praise this album over Jehovahkill and Autogeddon, both of which I greatly prefer, but I ought to give this another listen soon regardless

I prefer Jehovahkill too, but still!

The run from the China Doll EP through Interpreter is all pretty much top tier Julian Cope. I don't like 20 Mothers quite as much as the others but that's just me.

I hadn't notice until yesterday's drive that "Safesurfer" and Roxy's "If There is Something" share DNA.
