Synopsis
Julian Cope's highly acclaimed autobiography and its long-awaited sequel in one extraordinary volume., Julian Cope's highly acclaimed autobiography and its long-awaited sequel in one extraordinary volume. Julian Cope shot to fame with eighties band 'Teardrop Explodes' during the punk era. Hailed as a visionary by those who recognise his genius and a madman by those who find him perplexing, he is one of the music industry's most intriguing cult figures. Head-On/Repossessed is written in Cope's own inimitable style and follows his journey through a time of incredible change - within the music industry and his own life. Head-On was proclaimed Book of the Year by the Sunday Times and the Observer upon its publication in 1994 ('my heart burst' said its reviewer). The book's fame, reputation and incredible reception have only been heightened since then. Head-On now has an irrefutable place in the canon of musical literature. Repossesed, the second part of Cope's incredible story, delves back into the turmoil of the 80s music scene, and Cope's solo career. Its opening whirls back to 1983 and, on the succeeding pages, we see the glittering 80s years play out through Cope's singular, unique gaze, culminating in the writing of his first autobiography., Julian Cope's highly acclaimed autobiography and its long-awaited sequel in one extraordinary volume. When Julian Cope published 'Head On' in 1994 he received astounding reviews: Visceral, ballsy, bitchy, brutal, beautifully written. Book of the year. Made my heart burst. -- The Observer ... an enthralling saga of bitchiness, betrayal and unrepentent debauchery. -- The Sunday Times (Books of the Year) Not only is the aarch-drude perfectly balanced mentally, but he has the longest and most detailed memory ( or the most extensive and exhaustive diary) in rock... As a glimpse of the essentially pathetic but amusing whims and eccentricities that lie behind the screwed down hairdos of rock musicians, it's equally essential reading. And as a genital -warts-and -all diary of madmen, it is simply supreme entertainment. -- N.M.E one of the funniest, blakest rock reads you could wish for... and throughout, Cope never portrays himself as anything less than a self-serving, childish, whinging half-assed failure. He's wrong, of course, but it makes for insanely funny reading. -- Select Head-On has previously only been available via 'Head Heritage' Julian's own company. 'Repossesed' pick, In 1995, rock'n'roll druid Julian Cope self-published his searingly honest autobiography Head-On. It has never been widely available, although it has always been in great demand. Repossessed continues the story from the time Julian left punk band The Teardrop Explodes. It takes in his travels through the sacred sites of Britain and follows his ventures into the realms of expanded consciousness that led to the writing of The Modern Antiquarian (0722535996). This new instalment of his autobiography promises to be every bit as sensational as the first.
