Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Stormwatch is a fairly recent aquisition so it's not seeped into the codpiece of familiarity as yet, thought I like it very much thus far.

Broadsword is utterly splendid. It may be hampered to modern ears (or indeed, tentacles) by some of the 80's production - Ian A and Tull did seem to be seduced a bit by the tech of the day at the time - but it's not too oppressive I'd say. And the songs on Broadsword are, to my lugs, up there with the best Ian Anderson has written; some great tunes. Pussywillow, in particular, is one of my fave songs by anyone.

There is a cd you can get that also has an albums worth of extra, previously unreleased songs that were recorded with the intention of releasing Broadsword as a double album back in the day.

Go forth sir, and stuff your cod!
