Best known for their Top Ten UK single \"Reward\" (which is still a staple of 1980s alternative pop compilations), 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\u0026amp;R man, and founder of Food Records). Along with other contemporary Liverpudlian groups, The Teardrop Explodes played a role in returning psychedelic elements to mainstream British rock and pop, initially favouring a modernised version of lightly psychedelic late 60s-influenced beat-group sound and later exploring more experimental areas. In addition to their musical reputation, the band (and Cope in particular) had a reputation for eccentric pronouncements and behaviour, sometimes verging on the self-destructive. These featured strongly in contemporary press accounts and were later expanded on in Cope's 1993 memoir Head On. These sets compile all the bands singles as well as 4 discs of unreleased of rare studio and live out- takes - Compiled by long time band publicist Mick Houghton who gained exclusive access to Julian Copes archive, these recordings show the evolution of one of the most influential bands of the Era from beginning to end. As well as some rare live shows. The book contains an essay and time-line from Mick who has interviewed Julian amongst others to recall the time when the band had the world at their feet and contains rare memorabilia from the time. The tracks have been re-mastered by Andy Pearce where ever possible from original tapes and cassettes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeping Gas - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Camera - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirby Workers Dream Fades - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBouncing Babies - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Am Is Loving You - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreason - Zoo Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead It in Books - Single B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Dream - First Mercury Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKilimanjaro - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReward - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrange House in the Snow - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreason (It's Just a Story) (Remixed Version) - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Me - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraison (C'est Juste Une Histoire) - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHa Ha I'm Drowning - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoppies in the Field - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassionate Friend - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrist Vs Warhol - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours Fly Away - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast of the Equator - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindow Shopping for a New Crown of Thorns - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiny Children - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRachel Built a Steamboat - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Disappear from View - Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuffocate - No Strings (No Strings Version - Us Version of Kilimanjaro)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuch Monkeys - B-Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Camera - Granada TV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstro - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeping Gas - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeeing Through You - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Rain - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Am Is Loving You - Band on the Wall - Manchester Feb 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead It in Books - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJury Service - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake a Chance - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tunnel - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Camera - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstro - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeping Gas - Band on the Wall - Manchester 05 March 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeauty Come Second - Live Trinity Centre - Bristol 06 October 1979 (Un-Recorded Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake a Chance - Cargo Demos November 1979 \/ to the Shores of Lake Placid Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoppies in the Field - Cargo Studios, Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrave Boys Keep Promises - Cargo Studios, Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBouncing Babies - Cargo Studios, Rochdale - November 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Years Aka Nobody Knows This Is Everywhere - Zoology Version - Alan Gill's Studio 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond Head - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWent Crazy - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThief of Bagdad - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSave Me - Live at Studio y (Ymca London) 30\/05\/1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Dream - to the Shores of Lake Placid Version - Rockfield Studios March 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDialogue Between (Window Shopping for a New Crown of Thorns) - Rockfield Studios March 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuffocate (With Strings) - Baroque Version - Hugh Jones 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReward - Us Promo 12 Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent Out of Shape - Peel Session - 17 August 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours Fly Away - Club Zoo Liverpool - 25 November 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling Down Around Me - Bearshank Lodge April 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Joy - Club Zoo Liverpool - 25 November 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassionate Friend - Bearshank Lodge April 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiny Children - Air Studios Rough Mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e...
