I was really fortunate to hear him on John Peel in 1979. I was having a sulkly 15 year old teenage moment and laying on my bed, fed up with something, listening to Peel. I heard Teardrop and was wowed out - can't remember if it was a session or Sleeping Gas single. I loved the music and the sound of the vocalist. I leapt off the bed to write down who it was. Couldn't stop listening to Peel to hear more and

I could never work out from the singles which one was Cope and was still not quite convinced when Kilimanjaro came out though thought it might be the one at the front (doh).

Was hooked right from the word go. Memory is vague from those years but do remember spending my Saturday job money on the singles and and not eating for a few weeks (saving my lunch money) to buy a ticket to see Teardrop live.
