Julian Cope Biography

Back in London, and with only the faithful Skinner remaining, Cope enlisted his A&R man Ron Fair as producer and recorded a follow-up album called My Nation Underground. This featured a varied lineup of musicians including Fair, Skinner, Danny Thompson, eccentric percussionist Rooster Cosby (who was to remain a close Cope associate) and assorted sessions musicians (some of whom, such as James Eller, had contributed to the previous album). My Nation Underground produced only one Top 40 single, “Charlotte Anne”, which also met with modest American success by reaching the top of the Modern Rock Tracks. Subsequent singles “5 O’Clock World” (a cover of a 1965 Vogues song) and the orchestral pop ballad “China Doll” both charted considerably lower, disappointing Island Records and further discouraging Cope, who had not enjoyed making the record and did not believe that it represented him properly as an artist.

Cope’s family resided in Tamworth, Staffordshire, but he was born in Deri, Monmouthshire, Wales, where his mother’s parents lived, while she was staying there. Cope was staying with his grandmother near Aberfan on his ninth birthday, the day of the Aberfan disaster of 1966, which he has described as a key event of his childhood.

He was married to Dorian Beslity.

In 1982 (accompanied by his new American wife Dorian Beslity) Cope moved to the Staffordshire village of Drayton Bassett (close to his childhood home of Tamworth). Following the break up of The Teardrop Explodes, he spent a period in seclusion recovering from the strain of the group’s final year. Cope’s well-documented Teardrops-era LSD excesses, eccentric behaviour and subsequent retreat had led to him being labelled an “acid casualty” in the vein of Syd Barrett and Roky Erikson, an image which took him several years to shake off. During this period, Cope befriended a teenage Drayton Bassett musician called Donald Ross Skinner, who became his main musical foil for the next twelve years.

In 1983 Cope began recording the songs for his first solo album, World Shut Your Mouth. Although the album generally retained the uptempo pop drive of the Teardrops, it was also an introspective and surreal work with many references to childhood. Former Teardrops drummer Gary Dwyer, guitarist Steve Lovell and Dream Academy oboist Kate St John all contributed to the album, which was released on Mercury Records in March 1984. World Shut Your Mouth was seen as out-of-step with the times, gained poor reviews and sold indifferently. A single from the album, “Sunshine Playroom”, featured a disturbing video directed by David Bailey. During a concert at Hammersmith Palais on the subsequent promotional tour, Cope slashed across his bare stomach with a broken microphone stand in an act of frustrated self-mutilation. Although the wounds were superficial, it shocked the audience and resulted in another memorable addition to his reputation for bizarre behaviour.
