Title: The Teardrop Explodes - Sleeping Gas [1979 Single]
Description: A-Side of the first single released by the Post-Punk band The Teadrop Explodes in 1979.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I wonder if your really living
Oh what is this feeling you think that you're giving
Well you can sit down, wrecked and dismayed
Wondering why are all the plans that you laid
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP
Oh it's just like a cartoon by AAP, oh yeah
Oh whether to phone you
Or whether to see you
I never do anything
You never do things for me
I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
So here comes my head
And my hand just behind oh yeah yeah yeah
I stand in the street
I look for someone to meet
But you don't call me or phone
Oh your never alone
I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
It's just like sleeping gas
It's so ethereal
I wander around
I just wander around

Julian Cope and The Teardrop Explodes performing the hit 'Treason' from the 1980 album 'Kilimanjaro'- only in French!
Recording hits in other languages used to be quite common in the 1960s- maybe the band thought they had a market over the Channel that needed serving...
Nowadays Cope is an acknowledged (and published) expert in ancient stone structures- one or two of his photos are on here.
"C'est just un histoire..."
Title: Turquoise Swimming Pools - Burst Balloons
Description: Zoo Records was a British independent record label formed by Bill Drummond and David Balfe in 1978.
The label went on to release early work from The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & the Bunnymen.
Part of the label's philosophy was to only release singles and never albums - the only album ever released on Zoo was the 1982
compilation of all the singles To the Shores of Lake Placid: The Zoo Uncaged 1978-1982, which was re-released in 1995 with extra
tracks as simply The Zoo Uncaged 1978-1982.
Title: Teardrop Explodes-Reward (Live-The Old Grey Whistle Test )
Description: A bit of post-punk loveliness from Julian Cope and company. This track is probably the most well known from The Teardrop Explodes back catalogue (I think it got into the British Top Ten). Julian Cope (the lead singer) is one of modern life's eccentrics and should be cherished as such.
This video (ripped by Rosamannen) was filmed in 1980 for the Old Grey Whistle Test show.
