The journalist possibly most aligned with the Liverpool scene, etc, was Dave McCullough in Sounds and he went off Julian. I think he gave the WSYM LP something like two and a half stars. IIRC he liked the more garagey direction of tracks like Bandy's First Jump but wasn't impressed with side two (they are quite different sides).

Having fallen in love with Head Hang Low immediately via the Peel session version I wanted that as the first solo single, failing that Greatness & Perfection which admittedly was released in 45 form the following year.

Sunshine Playroom wasn't an obvious single for me, but after the initial, er, shock I did think it had hit potential if it got the airplay. It just needed a few plays to become an earworm, demonstrated by a non-Cope fan friend really getting into it after I'd played it a few times. I think one of the weekly papers predicted it'd be a hit though?
