Hey Kiddies, here’s a peach for you – Cope’s Notes 4: The Black Sheep. And what a sumptuous package this one is…

Dig deep into the 48-page booklet with Cope’s extensive memoir of his 2008 Black Sheep album and the early Black Sheep period: fascinating stories, theories, and a coalescing of decades of radical thought (including Reading and Listening lists). Feast your eyes on the umpteen colour photos of the Archdrude’s revolutionary art: chairs, milk churns, marching bass drums. And wrap your ears around the 40-plus-minutes of the accompanying CD: beautiful unreleased songs, alternative versions, intriguing demos – hell, this sounds like a brand new album!
