Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Reissue Vinyl Records Heavyweight LP Julian Cope Julian Cope039s second album of 1984 Never repressed in its original format, this reissue faithfully replicates the original Mercury Records UK release with poster, and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl Fried is one of Julian Cope039s boldest. It made many think that after a while teetering on the edge, Julian Cope had finally tipped over into an artistic madness, &lified by his wearing a turtle shell and staring at a toy van on a landscaped spoil tip in Warwickshire on the album039s sleeve. Opening track Reynard The Fox added to it all, a sixminute psychedelic garage rock tourdeforce, breaking down to a Cope monologue where he gravely intones English folk tales from his vantage point, referring also to an onstage stomachslashing incident from 1983. Sunspots, the sole single taken from the album, is one of his greatest recordings in a career that spans over 40 years. Fried is up there with some of the very best works of the singular British eccentric.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.
