Hahaha, yes. I actually laughed out loud the first time I heard that!

'Taint really a double album though is it? I thought it was just that Copey thing of having songs in phases and having you actually physically 'flip the sides' so to speak, like you would have done in the olden days.
I know someone moaned about this 2-cd thing of Cope's but the prices (inc P&P) are about the same as a single cd and you get books and foldy bits so I think it's cool meself.

This is the first album, let alone Cope album, that I've gone right back to the beginning once it has ended and done it all over again, a number of times. That, is a good thing.
Baa baa baa...

oops, meant to say 'first album for a long time', but the sentiment remains...
Come the Revolution was the only track that didn;t instantly grab me, but I think it only took one more listen.
Get on that CD1!!!

Y'know, I'll be honest and admit the last JC album I bought was "Rome Wasn't Burned In a Day", but I'm going to order this one - from what everyone's been saying, it sounds as though he's reconnected with his tuneful, melancholic side (folk have mentioned "World Shut your Mouth" and "Elegant Chaos", both of which utterly blew my mind as a teen and still do). I loved "Peggy" and "Jehovahkill" too, but to these ears his records have been a tad too riff-heavy and melody-lite since then (although I love his writing and continue to repsect the guy for following his own muse and not selling out).
So thanks for the tip.

Feed My Rock n Roll is the most uplifting song that I have heard for freakin years - I absolutely LOVE it !!!! My work is a bit of a depressing place to hang at the moment but everyday this week I’ve walked out and stuck “Heathen Rock n Roll…” on my MP3 machine and I’ve smiled and danced my way homewards. If Mr Cope wouldn't find the idea so hideous I would write to Gordon Broon and demand that he makes it the National Anthem (but deep down inside we all know that it is OUR national anthem).
And the rest of the album is beautiful
I always look forward to the new Julian Cope album but it has been a while since I was so fantastically rewarded
“all you really need is you to play that heathen rock n roll” - rite on
