At Their Peak....


I go uh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubh bubhuuh duh bubh ah uh bubh bubh bubh bubhdubha ohohoho....


Just a brilliant pop song. Only reached Number 47 in 1980. One single too early as next single Reward was their biggest hit reaching Number 6. Both tracks came from classic Teardrops album Kilimanjaro which last year received the 3 CD deluxe treatment and for once all the additional material is well worth having. For me this is always going to be the essential Cope purchase. Compared to a lot of albums of that era it doesn't sound dated. It's one of those albums that is hard to pick a stand out track as the marriage of late 60's psychedelia and the dazzling array of horns, synths and huge melodies make for one of the 80's finest albums with no filler material on it.
