I remember Copey on TOTP in the 80s, especially WSYM, but I didn't delve any further as my tastes were more Black Sabbath and the mid-80s thrash metal bands. In 91 though a mate sent a compilation tape with Safesurfer on and that led me to buy Peggy Suicide. Then saw him play in Bradford before Jehovakill finally got released. Given I'd already enjoyed visiting northern prehistoric sites e.g. the Northumberland cup and ring marks and Cumbrian stone circles etc, then I guess JC became a bit of a hero around then. But even more so after I founf the HH reviews in 2001 or 2002 as I've a similar taste to him. Given my more rock background I had no problem with Brain Donor or his recent solo records. I had more of a problem getting into St Julian and Teardrops but I'm loving the Kilimanjaro reissue - the things that bothered me, the keyboards & trumpets etc sound fine to my ears now with the further passing of time.
