Best known for their Top Ten UK single \"Reward\" (which is still a staple of 1980s alternative pop compilations), the group originated as a key band in the emerging Liverpool post-punk scene of the late 1970s, the group also launched the career of group frontman Julian Cope as well as that of keyboard player and co-manager David Balfe (later a record producer, A\u0026amp;R man, and founder of Food Records). Along with other contemporary Liverpudlian groups, The Teardrop Explodes played a role in returning psychedelic elements to mainstream British rock and pop, initially favouring a modernised version of lightly psychedelic late 60s-influenced beat-group sound and later exploring more experimental areas. In addition to their musical reputation, the band (and Cope in particular) had a reputation for eccentric pronouncements and behaviour, sometimes verging on the self-destructive. These featured strongly in contemporary press accounts and were later expanded on in Cope's 1993 memoir Head On. These sets compile all the bands singles as well as 4 discs of unreleased of rare studio and live out- takes - Compiled by long time band publicist Mick Houghton who gained exclusive access to Julian Copes archive, these recordings show the evolution of one of the most influential bands of the Era from beginning to end. As well as some rare live shows. The book contains an essay and time-line from Mick who has interviewed Julian amongst others to recall the time when the band had the world at their feet and contains rare memorabilia from the time. The tracks have been re-mastered by Andy Pearce where ever possible from original tapes and cassettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeping Gas - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Camera Camera - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kirby Workers Dream Fades - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bouncing Babies - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All I Am Is Loving You - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Treason - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Read It in Books - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When I Dream - First Mercury Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kilimanjaro - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reward - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Strange House in the Snow - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Treason (It's Just a Story) (Remixed Version) - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Use Me - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Traison (C'est Juste Une Histoire) - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ha Ha I'm Drowning - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poppies in the Field - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Passionate Friend - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Christ Vs Warhol - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Colours Fly Away - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e East of the Equator - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Window Shopping for a New Crown of Thorns - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tiny Children - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rachel Built a Steamboat - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Disappear from View - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Suffocate - No Strings (No Strings Version - Us Version of Kilimanjaro)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ouch Monkeys - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Camera Camera - Granada TV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Instro - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sleeping Gas - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seeing Through You - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Straight Rain - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All I Am Is Loving You - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Read It in Books - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jury Service - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take a Chance - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tunnel - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Camera Camera - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Outstro - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sleeping Gas - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beauty Come Second - Live Trinity Centre - Bristol 06 October 1979 (Un-Recorded Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take a Chance - Cargo Demos November 1979 \/ to the Shores of Lake Placid Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poppies in the Field - Cargo Studios Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Brave Boys Keep Promises - Cargo Studios Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bouncing Babies - Cargo Studios Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e For Years Aka Nobody Knows This Is Everywhere - Zoology Version - Alan Gill's Studio 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Second Head - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Went Crazy - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thief of Bagdad - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Save Me - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When I Dream - to the Shores of Lake Placid Version - Rockfield Studios March 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dialogue Between (Window Shopping for a New Crown of Thorns) - Rockfield Studios March 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Suffocate (With Strings) - Baroque Version - Hugh Jones 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reward - Us Promo 12 Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bent Out of Shape - Peel Session - 17 August 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Colours Fly Away - Club Zoo Liverpool - 25 November 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Falling Down Around Me - Bearshank Lodge April 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pure Joy - Club Zoo Liverpool - 25 November 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Passionate Friend - Bearshank Lodge April 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tiny Children - Air Studios Rough Mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e ...
