World Shut Your Mouth (Cope’s Notes #3)

Brand new for Autumn 2022, here’s Cope’s Notes Number #3. This World Shut Your Mouth package explores that foggy hinterland between Head-On and Repossessed, that knuckle-joint netherworld in which Cope – removed from Liverpool – finds himself back in his boyhood hometown of Tamworth eager to begin a solo career but unsure how to proceed.

Sink into Cope’s 4500-word account of “The World Shut Your Mouth Story”, while wrapping your earlobes around the fascinating accompanying 35-minute CD chock-full of demos, spoken word, and previously unheard music. The 38-page booklet also includes previously unpublished handwritten lyrics, poems and photographs.

 

One of the few instances where visionary indolence has reaped career benefits.
