The Teardrop Explodes: Everybody Wants To Shag... 1990 + Piano 1990 + Zoology 2004 + Peel Sessions (1977-82) 2007


The Teardrop Explodes originated as a critical band in the emerging Liverpool post-punk scene of the


late 1970s, which included Echo & The Bunnymen, their former manager Bill Drummond of The JAMS/KLF, The Mighty WAH! and future pop stars Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and The Lightning Seeds Ian Broudie, who would also produce many bands from the scene. The group also launched the career of group frontman Julian Cope and keyboard player David Balfe, who later founded Food Records and signed and mentored Blur.
                          

The Teardrop Explodes was formed by Cope and Simpson from the ashes of A Shallow Madness (a

band which also included Ian McCulloch, later in Echo & The Bunnymen). Together with Finkler and Dwyer they released their debut single Sleeping Gas / Camera Camera / Kirkby Workers Dream Fades 1979. After that Simpson left to form The Wild Swans, and was replaced by David Balfe (ex-Dalek I Love You and Big in Japan), who would leave/be sacked/come back several times during their lifetime.
                                

In 1980 they began to record their debut album Everybody Wants to Shag The Teardrop Explodes (yes, the title was recycled later) for Zoo. It was never released. Instead they got signed by Phonogram,

replaced Finkler with Alan Gill (also ex-Dalek I Love You), re-recorded some songs and released them as Kilimanjaro. They got their first Top Ten hit with Reward / Strange House in the Snow, but by then Gill had already left to be replaced by Troy Tate. Cope decided that he didn't want to play bass anymore and that Balfe had to go. In came Alfie Agius and Jeff Hammer, but before the release of their second album Wilder, they were replaced by Ronnie François (ex-The Sinceros) and Balfe (again).
                       

Stripped down to a trio they recorded their third and final album Everybody Wants to Shag... The Teardrop Explodes 1982, but split before it was finished. It was finally released in 1990.

The Teardrop Explodes: Wilder 1981 (Re - Remaster 2000) + Extra Tracks From The American Mini Album: Buff Manilla 1982?



Wilder is the second album by neo-psychedelic Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes, and the final


completed album released by the group. In 2000 former Teardrop Explodes leader Julian Cope gave his blessings to re-release Wilder with a selection of bonus tracks, mainly single b-sides, plus original artwork, a remastered sound, and full lyrics and essays. Wilder was recorded following a turbulent period in the band's career involving the success of their debut album Kilimanjaro, several line-up changes and a fraught, drug-fuelled American tour. For Wilder, the group's leader and principal songwriter Julian Cope developed his songwriting by using many experimental approaches.  
                                              

The concluding track, "The Great Dominions," is one of Cope's all-time best, with a sweeping, epic

sense of scope and sound. The angular funk of "The Culture Bunker" has both some fine guitar and a sharp lyric or two on Cope's part -- the Crucial Three he refers to was his bedroom-only act with Ian McCulloch and Pete Wylie. Other high points include the moody synth shadings on "Tiny Children," where Balfe's work comes through best of all, and Dwyer's generally sharp drumming throughout, keeping the beat well.
                                       

Buff Manila was the moniker Gary Dwyer (Drums in Teardrop Explodes) used on a weird version of

"Kwalo Koblinsky's Lullaby" which was only released on the Zoo Records compilation called "To The Shores Of Lake Placid". It featured Julian Cope "intoning" under the name of Kevin Stapleton. The album featured unreleased tracks by The Bunnymen, Teardrops, Lori and the Chameleons etc. Bill Drummond published a little booklet called "from The Shores of Lake Placid" in 1998. It was published by The Penkiln Burn.

The Teardrop Explodes: Kilimanjaro 1980 (Deluxe Edition 2010)

 

One of the pivotal groups to emerge from the Liverpool neo-psychedelia community during the late '70s, the Teardrop Explodes was a showcase for Julian Cope, a notoriously eccentric figure whose


unfashionable love of Krautrock and hallucinogenic drugs set him distinctly apart from the prevailing punk mentality of the era.
Cope formed the band in 1978 after a tenure in the Crucial Three (also comprised of Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Wah!'s Pete Wylie); taking their name from a panel in a Marvel comic book, the premiere lineup of the Teardrop Explodes also featured guitarist Mick Finkler and drummer Gary Dwyer, as well as keyboardist Paul Simpson, with whom Cope previously played in the short-lived A Shallow Madness.
                           

Upon signing to Bill Drummond and David Balfe's fledgling Zoo label, the quartet issued their 1979

debut single, "Sleeping Gas," a surreal electro-pop effort distinguished by its swirling keyboard washes; Simpson exited the Teardrop Explodes' ranks in the wake of the record's release, allowing Balfe to assume keyboard and production duties for the bizarre follow-up "Bouncing Babies." After touring with Echo and the Bunnymen, the group concentrated on streamlining the more excessive elements of its sound: the result, the buoyant "Treason (It's Just a Story)," nearly reached the pop charts.
                                    

After Finkler was replaced by former Dalek I Love You guitarist Alan Gill, the Teardrop Explodes issued 1980's infectious "When I Dream," which hit the U.K. Top 50 and even garnered some airplay in

the U.S. Finally, in October the band's debut LP, Kilimanjaro, appeared to rave reviews and respectable sales; early in 1981, the single "Reward" hit the Top Ten, and a subsequent reissue of "Treason (It's Just a Story)" surged into the Top 20. Still, the Teardrop Explodes' roster continued to fluctuate wildly, and soon Gill exited to make room for guitarist Troy Tate in time to record 1981's ambitious Wilder, highlighted by the smash "Passionate Friend."
                        

A tour of the States followed, with disastrous results; Tate quickly broke ranks to join Fashion, leaving

the remaining trio to begin work on a planned third LP to be dubbed Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes. In the midst of recording, however, Cope dissolved the band; only a 1983 EP dubbed You Disappear from View appeared on schedule, although the unfinished sessions were finally released in full in 1990 under their projected title. In the wake of the Teardrop Explodes' breakup, Balfe later re-emerged as the founder of the Food Records label, while Cope embarked on a successful and occasionally brilliant solo career.
                                           

Kilimanjaro is the debut album by the neo-psychedelic Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes,

released on 10 October 1980. It contains versions of the band's early singles – "Sleeping Gas", "Bouncing Babies", "Treason" & "When I Dream" – as well as their biggest hit, "Reward". The album also includes the song "Books" – originally a song by Julian Cope's previous band, The Crucial Three, it was also recorded by Echo & the Bunnymen (as "Read it in Books", released on the B-side of their debut single, and featured on some versions of Crocodiles).
                            

In 2000, Q magazine placed Kilimanjaro at number 95 in its list of the 100 Greatest British

Albums Ever.
In 2000, Cope gave his blessings to re-release Kilimanjaro with a selection of bonus tracks (mainly single B-sides), original artwork, a remastered sound, and full lyrics and essays. A deluxe 3-disc edition followed in 2010, including original singles, B-sides and radio session recordings.
