About the Book

Julian Cope's highly acclaimed autobiography and its long-awaited sequel in one extraordinary volume. When Julian Cope published 'Head On' in 1994 he received astounding reviews: "Visceral, ballsy, bitchy, brutal, beautifully written. Book of the year. Made my heart burst". -- The Observer "...an enthralling saga of bitchiness, betrayal and unrepentent debauchery." -- The Sunday Times (Books of the Year) " Not only is the aarch-drude perfectly balanced mentally, but he has the longest and most detailed memory ( or the most extensive and exhaustive diary) in rock...As a glimpse of the essentially pathetic but amusing whims and eccentricities that lie behind the screwed down hairdos of rock musicians, it's equally essential reading. And as a genital -warts-and -all diary of madmen, it is simply supreme entertainment." -- N.M.E "one of the funniest, blakest rock reads you could wish for...and throughout, Cope never portrays himself as anything less than a self-serving, childish, whinging half-assed failure. He's wrong, of course, but it makes for insanely funny reading." -- Select Head-On has previously only been available via 'Head Heritage' Julian's own company. 'Repossesed' picks up in 1983 where Head On' stops and continues up until 1989. Written in Cope's inimitable style it is set to provoke the same kind of media excitement.

About the Author :
Julian Cope shot to fame with 'Teardrop Explodes' during the Punk era. He has continued to make albums and produce other performers. He is hailed as a visionary by those people who recognise his genius and a madman by those who find him perlexing. He has written three books all of which have received ecstatic reviews. His most recent book -- 'The Modern Antiquarian' has established itself as a classic travel guide to ancient Britain. This book remained in the bseseller lists for many weeks.
