Kilimanjaro (Deluxe Edition) by The Teardrop Explodes

The Teardrop Explodes were an English post-punk/ neo-psychedelic band formed in Liverpool in 1978. Best known for their Top Ten UK single " Reward", 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&R man and founder of Food Records). Other members included early Smiths producer Troy Tate.a b ["Julian Cope, the hit who became a myth"] – feature on Julian Cope by Andrew Perry in The Daily Telegraph, 1 July 2010 David Balfe – keyboards on "Reward", "Treason" (Zoo single version), "Read It in Books", "Kilimanjaro", "Reward", "Strange House in the Snow", "Use Me", "Traison (C'est Juste Une Histoire" and "Sleeping Gas" (live version) Julian Cope, ComposerLyricist - MIKE HOWLETT, Producer - Carl Anthony Dwyer, ComposerLyricist - Michael Neil Finkler, ComposerLyricist - The Teardrop Explodes, MainArtist

The album divides into several distinct styles. 'Bent Out Of Shape' is a great opening, built around a majestic bass groove and swaggering horns atop the enigmatic Cope lyrics that are a trademark of this album. Much of the album shares this style - the bizarre and brilliant 'Seven Views Of Jerusalem', 'The Culture Bunker' and 'Like Leila Khaled Said'. In the booklet Balfe reveals the influence of Talking Heads / David Byrne and Brian Eno on his arrangements and his choice of a Prophet 5 synthesiser, and this sheds light on some of the interesting rhythms, particularly on 'Seven Views'.

Alan Gill – guitar on "Reward" (second edition of album only), "Poppies in the Field", "Ha Ha I'm Drowning", "Books" and "When I Dream" [11] Julian Cope, Bass Guitar, Organ, Vocals, AssociatedPerformer, ComposerLyricist - Paul Simpson, ComposerLyricist - Carl Anthony Dwyer, ComposerLyricist - Michael Neil Finkler, ComposerLyricist - Gary Andrew Dwyer, Drums, AssociatedPerformer, ComposerLyricist - The Teardrop Explodes, MainArtist - Alan Gill, Guitar, AssociatedPerformer - Mike Burson, ProducerI must say I don't like Dave. He gets a pretty dubious character sometimes. He just plays a good role in the band that's all, but we often fight, and I mean physically. I usually win because he's a bit of a wimp... not that I'm a fighting person though. Dave is just one of the most extreme characters I've ever met. Sometimes he gets me so knotted up inside .. but then again that's good because it keeps me pushing; you know, right there…I usually do the interviews because I’m the only one with anything to say really. Like Alan just spends most of his time thinking, and Gary never says anything. I can usually speak for them better. Dave would just start pissing you off ... it sounds like a really horrible band, doesn't it?"

In came Alfie Agius and Jeff Hammer, but before the release of their second album Wilder, they were replaced by Ronnie François (ex- The Sinceros) and Balfe (again). Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (illustrateded.). St Ives, N.S.W.: Australian Chart Book. p.254. ISBN 0-646-11917-6. In 1980 they began to record their debut album Everybody Wants to Shag The Teardrop Explodes (yes, the title was recycled later) for Zoo. It was never released. Instead they got signed by Phonogram, replaced Finkler with Alan Gill (also ex- Dalek I Love You), re-recorded some songs and released them as Kilimanjaro.
