Julian Cope - Try, Try, Try (Top of the Pops, BBC July 1995)

[@Keeleysound]

Brilliant song, and sung brilliantly live! And in a Neu! top too! The Arch-Drude NAILS IT

[@russ7510]

Brilliant song, this should have got much higher in the charts then it did

[@zararity]

In an alternate reality where good music actually hits the top ten, this would've easily made the top three, such a great, catchy pop song.

[@pauldaviesantiques1556]

Agreed; I bought it.

[@JoanneDwyer-e8i]

Just watched this on TOTP on bbc3, hes like a human bee from the 60s 😅😅

[@curthvonstrohmberg7479]

Fantastico!he has evrything soul rocknroll and intellect.......and good sense of humor

[@marijazavrski5736]

I recently discoved his music i was apparently living under the rock..

[@vincebevis2277]

Where have you been friend-o?

[@Foxglove963]

Marija. Yep, tho' not just any rock. Reckon it's gotta be a megalith yeach!!

[@zararity]

So glad someone pointed it out on your video, I would never have found it otherwise (that's why I chopped it out and uploaded it as it's own video!) :)

[@zararity]

Absolutely ;)

Underrated

[@zararity]

Isn't it just! :)

[@serenechaosuk4682]

who the fuck were the gimps at the start ? is it him from home + away / neighbours ?

[@bencolemanart]

I think so! Craig thingy? He looks so out of time, more so than Copey even.

[@richardclark6858]

Im guessing this was his last appearance..

[@louisbatsford8908]

Cope rules

[@ianholmes3761]

Yeah saw him twice live in Manchester puts a great gig on.

[@philipcurnow7990]

Jamiroquai. Seems familiar?

[@oliveroneill1388]

Ian mc cullaght. Watching this .

[@timcoe82]

Does anyone recognise any of the 'band'? Where's Donald?

[@lgfbratwurst]

Donald apparently left the Cope orbit once and for all during the making of this album.

[@timcoe82]

i see. Thanks. It looks like he's recruited a bunch of cyberkids from a teenage rave. Live singing, fair play Julian.

[@antonhaq3503]

The only one I recognize is Thighpaulsandra on keyboards. Julian does electronic stuff with him as 'Queen Elisabeth'. Thighp's been around for years, he was even in a line up of 'Coil' and 'Spiritualised', really good, creative musician/producer and as a character very suited to Copey.

[@timcoe82]

Thanks Anton. What are you favourite Cope tunes? For me, Trampoline, Elegant Chaos, Greatness and Perfection, Strasbourg.

[@antonhaq3503]

Looks like we've got similar taste,I like a lot of the stuff on 'Saint Julian' and my favourite album is 'World Shut Your Mouth' ( especially Sunshine Playroom and Elegant Chaos). I like all his stuff but the earlier albums mean more to me. If I had to pick 1 track it'd be 'Sunspots' from the 'Fried' album, come to think of it I like the whole album! I thought he went a little downhill after 'Peggy Suicide' for a couple of albums but he's always worth checking out and his 2 biographies 'Head On' and 'Repossessed' are both brilliant books, if you haven't read them you should. Both books were released as 1 big book and you should be able to pick up a copy pretty cheap on Amazon. I've seen him live a few times but not for years, I'd love to check his live show out now.
