Yes, it'a true he still had occasional pockets of support (like Dave Rimmer interviewing him just after "Sunshine Playroom" and claiming that the TX records were "bloody good" right up to the end), but they were in the minority. Apart from the Janice Long show don't remember "Sunshine playroom" getting much airplay at the time, but then I never listened to Capital Radio.


You two have amazing memories for historical detail. I was a fan through Wilder and then lapsed until I started seeing a fair bit of Mick Houghton through my job circa 1986/7 around the time of "The Man" and he was really passionate in banging the drum for Cope as a misunderstood genius. That's what got me interested again otherwise it could have been another five years before I caught up with him as a solo artist. I can't listen to Peggy anymore because of the self-consciously baggy production. The earlier solo albums are much more of a satisfying listen .... with the benefit of considerable hindsight of course.
