The Teardrop Explodes: Wilder 1981 (Re - Remaster 2000) + Extra Tracks From The American Mini Album: Buff Manilla 1982?



Wilder is the second album by neo-psychedelic Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes, and the final


completed album released by the group. In 2000 former Teardrop Explodes leader Julian Cope gave his blessings to re-release Wilder with a selection of bonus tracks, mainly single b-sides, plus original artwork, a remastered sound, and full lyrics and essays. Wilder was recorded following a turbulent period in the band's career involving the success of their debut album Kilimanjaro, several line-up changes and a fraught, drug-fuelled American tour. For Wilder, the group's leader and principal songwriter Julian Cope developed his songwriting by using many experimental approaches.  
                                              

The concluding track, "The Great Dominions," is one of Cope's all-time best, with a sweeping, epic

sense of scope and sound. The angular funk of "The Culture Bunker" has both some fine guitar and a sharp lyric or two on Cope's part -- the Crucial Three he refers to was his bedroom-only act with Ian McCulloch and Pete Wylie. Other high points include the moody synth shadings on "Tiny Children," where Balfe's work comes through best of all, and Dwyer's generally sharp drumming throughout, keeping the beat well.
                                       

Buff Manila was the moniker Gary Dwyer (Drums in Teardrop Explodes) used on a weird version of

"Kwalo Koblinsky's Lullaby" which was only released on the Zoo Records compilation called "To The Shores Of Lake Placid". It featured Julian Cope "intoning" under the name of Kevin Stapleton. The album featured unreleased tracks by The Bunnymen, Teardrops, Lori and the Chameleons etc. Bill Drummond published a little booklet called "from The Shores of Lake Placid" in 1998. It was published by The Penkiln Burn.

The Teardrop Explodes: Kilimanjaro 1980 (Deluxe Edition 2010)

 

One of the pivotal groups to emerge from the Liverpool neo-psychedelia community during the late '70s, the Teardrop Explodes was a showcase for Julian Cope, a notoriously eccentric figure whose


unfashionable love of Krautrock and hallucinogenic drugs set him distinctly apart from the prevailing punk mentality of the era.
Cope formed the band in 1978 after a tenure in the Crucial Three (also comprised of Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Wah!'s Pete Wylie); taking their name from a panel in a Marvel comic book, the premiere lineup of the Teardrop Explodes also featured guitarist Mick Finkler and drummer Gary Dwyer, as well as keyboardist Paul Simpson, with whom Cope previously played in the short-lived A Shallow Madness.
                           

Upon signing to Bill Drummond and David Balfe's fledgling Zoo label, the quartet issued their 1979

debut single, "Sleeping Gas," a surreal electro-pop effort distinguished by its swirling keyboard washes; Simpson exited the Teardrop Explodes' ranks in the wake of the record's release, allowing Balfe to assume keyboard and production duties for the bizarre follow-up "Bouncing Babies." After touring with Echo and the Bunnymen, the group concentrated on streamlining the more excessive elements of its sound: the result, the buoyant "Treason (It's Just a Story)," nearly reached the pop charts.
                                    

After Finkler was replaced by former Dalek I Love You guitarist Alan Gill, the Teardrop Explodes issued 1980's infectious "When I Dream," which hit the U.K. Top 50 and even garnered some airplay in

the U.S. Finally, in October the band's debut LP, Kilimanjaro, appeared to rave reviews and respectable sales; early in 1981, the single "Reward" hit the Top Ten, and a subsequent reissue of "Treason (It's Just a Story)" surged into the Top 20. Still, the Teardrop Explodes' roster continued to fluctuate wildly, and soon Gill exited to make room for guitarist Troy Tate in time to record 1981's ambitious Wilder, highlighted by the smash "Passionate Friend."
                        

A tour of the States followed, with disastrous results; Tate quickly broke ranks to join Fashion, leaving

the remaining trio to begin work on a planned third LP to be dubbed Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes. In the midst of recording, however, Cope dissolved the band; only a 1983 EP dubbed You Disappear from View appeared on schedule, although the unfinished sessions were finally released in full in 1990 under their projected title. In the wake of the Teardrop Explodes' breakup, Balfe later re-emerged as the founder of the Food Records label, while Cope embarked on a successful and occasionally brilliant solo career.
                                           

Kilimanjaro is the debut album by the neo-psychedelic Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes,

released on 10 October 1980. It contains versions of the band's early singles – "Sleeping Gas", "Bouncing Babies", "Treason" & "When I Dream" – as well as their biggest hit, "Reward". The album also includes the song "Books" – originally a song by Julian Cope's previous band, The Crucial Three, it was also recorded by Echo & the Bunnymen (as "Read it in Books", released on the B-side of their debut single, and featured on some versions of Crocodiles).
                            

In 2000, Q magazine placed Kilimanjaro at number 95 in its list of the 100 Greatest British

Albums Ever.
In 2000, Cope gave his blessings to re-release Kilimanjaro with a selection of bonus tracks (mainly single B-sides), original artwork, a remastered sound, and full lyrics and essays. A deluxe 3-disc edition followed in 2010, including original singles, B-sides and radio session recordings.

The Byrds: The Comlete Columbia Albums Collection (13 CD) 2011

 

The Byrds, American band of the 1960s who popularized folk rock, particularly the songs of Bob Dylan, and whose changes in personnel created an extensive family tree of major country rock bands and pop supergroups. The principal members were Roger McGuinn (original name James Joseph


McGuinn III; b. July 13, 1942, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), Gene Clark (in full Harold Eugene Clark; b. November 17, 1941, Tipton, Missouri—d. May 24, 1991, Sherman Oaks, California), David Crosby (original name David Van Cortland; b. August 14, 1941, Los Angeles, California), Chris Hillman (b. December 4, 1942, Los Angeles), Michael Clarke (b. June 3, 1944, New York, New York—d. December. 19, 1993, Treasure Island, Florida), Gram Parsons (original name Ingram Cecil Connor III; b. November 5, 1946, Winter Haven, Florida—d. September 19, 1973, Yucca Valley, California), and Clarence White (b. June 6, 1944, Lewiston, Maine—d. July 14, 1973, Palmdale, California).
                      

The Byrds’ debut single, a version of Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man,” went to number one in 1965, breaking the British Invasion’s year-long dominance of Top 40 airplay and record sales in the United States. They introduced Dylan’s songwriting to a new, commercially empowered, teenage pop audience

and, in the process, established Los Angeles as the creative hotbed of a new, “mod,” distinctly American style of rock. The Byrds’ trademark sound—a luminous blend of 12-string electric guitar and madrigal-flavoured vocal harmonies—spiked the Appalachian folk music tradition with the rhythmic vitality of the Beatles and the sunny hedonism of southern California. On early albums, the Byrds covered Dylan, Pete Seeger, Porter Wagoner, and Stephen Foster with a jangly clarity that reflected young America’s changing mood and its fantasies of a Pacific Coast utopia.
                     

Former folkies converted by Beatlemania, McGuinn (who was called Jim before changing his name to

Roger later in his career), Clark, and Crosby founded the Byrds—initially as the Jet Set and the Beefeaters—in 1964. (McGuinn had been a member of the Chad Mitchell Trio and a sideman for Judy Collins; Clark had been a member of the New Christy Minstrels.) But the Byrds brought new, formidable influences to folk and pop.
                                    

Crosby’s interest in modern jazz and Indian ragas inspired the Byrds’ forays into modal psychedelia,

including the hit “Eight Miles High” (1966).
Hillman, a teenage mandolin prodigy, was a prime, underacknowledged force in the Byrds’ fusion of rock and country. In his songs “Mr. Spaceman” and “5D (Fifth Dimension),” McGuinn, an aviation and technology enthusiast, charged the Byrds’ music and image with space-age optimism; he was also one of the first pop musicians to embrace the Moog synthesizer.
                       

Formed more out of common ambition than fraternal bonding, the Byrds were racked by dissent. Clark, a prolific writer of melodically imaginative, bittersweet ballads, left in 1966; Crosby was fired in 1967

during the making of The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968). Parsons, who had attempted a country-rock marriage with his previous group, the International Submarine Band, was a Byrd for only five months in 1968. Nevertheless, Parsons’s Southern background and his passion for rural American music, including gospel and rhythm and blues, deeply informed the country sound of Sweetheart of the Rodeo, a record so controversial it alienated the Byrds’ pop audience at the same time it outraged the Nashville music establishment (although the group did perform on the Grand Ole Opry radio program in 1968).
                       

In the late 1960s and early ’70s the Byrds were as famous for their influence and the activities of their

alumni as for their actual recordings. The Byrds’ blending of folk, country, and psychedelia was recast and commercially fine-tuned by bands such as Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and the Eagles. Hillman left the Byrds shortly after Parsons; together they founded the seminal country rock band the Flying Burrito Brothers.
                          

Crosby produced Joni Mitchell’s first album, collaborated with members of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, and, with Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies’ Graham

Nash, formed the “supertrio” Crosby, Stills and Nash (which became a quartet with the occasional addition of Neil Young).
The Byrds’ legacy was revived in the 1980s, as an earthy antidote to punk nihilism and synthesizer-driven pop, by the American underground bands R.E.M. and the Long Ryders. In the 1990s the Byrds’ progressive country aspirations inspired the alternative country movement led by Wilco and Son Volt.
                                

With a shifting lineup, the Byrds remained a popular act until 1973, when McGuinn, the sole remaining

founding member, went solo. Clarence White, an experienced session musician who played with the bluegrass group the Kentucky Colonels, brought an exhilarating, concise style of roots rock guitar to later Byrds albums. There were periodic reunions by members of the original lineup during the 1970s, including a 1973 album by the full quintet. The 1990 boxed set The Byrds featured four new recordings by McGuinn, Crosby, and Hillman, one of which was, appropriately, a Bob Dylan song, “Paths of Victory.” The Byrds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

DISC 7.  SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO - CD2 (THE INTERNATIONAL SUBMARINE BAND)    1968

                        


The International Submarine Band (ISB) was formed by Gram Parsons in 1965, while a theology student at Harvard University and John Nuese, a guitar player for local rock group, The Trolls. Nuese is credited with having persuaded Parsons to pursue the country-rock sound for which he would later be remembered. Parsons' work with the band predates his better known ventures with The Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and the Fallen Angels with Emmylou Harris.
