Although Julian Cope was largely a social hermit during the mid-'80s, his darkest years personally, he remained a friend and favorite of BBC DJs Janice Long and John Peel, who regularly coaxed him from his Tamworth home into their studios for sessions. (In keeping with his craving for solitude, the majority of the mid-'80s recordings feature Cope strumming away at a guitar with only a cheap and clattery drum machine for accompaniment.) The results are startling for those familiar with the more polished studio recordings; stripped of its relatively lush orchestration, "Reynard the Fox" sounds like Roky Erickson at his most paranoid.
