Peggy Suicide was the first marking and mapping out of a new Julian Cope, says Richard Foster; one who kept us sane and questing for new ideas at the dawn of the 90s
You could argue that the opening notes of Julian Cope’s double album,
Peggy Suicide, can be heard on the last few pages of his ever-entertaining autobiography,
Head On/ Repossessed. The book chronicles the rise and fall of his band, The Teardrop Explodes and the often painful road towards chart success as a solo artist in the mid-to-late 1980s. On the very last pages, whilst documenting a private memorial ceremony in Tamworth on New Year’s Eve 1989 in honour of his late friend, Echo And The Bunnymen’s totemic drummer Pete de Freitas, Cope writes of experiencing a vision in the form of “a current of truthful gas”.
