It is marvellous. I utterly love it. Every single track hits the nail on the head. It is all just so good. I love the packaging, the format, the wit and the kinda playfulness which just soaks through everything on the disc.
Cope has said they'll never re-form and I can see why... they never really went away. These tracks, poems and little musical vignettes prove (to me) that The Teardrop Explodes were a state of mind I entered whenever I played their records. That state still exists. In the last forty years it has always been there when I played their records. It's still here, there, way out there, somewhere...
