Following the success of Floored Genius, a compilation of solo and Teardrop Explodes studio recordings that reached number 22 in the charts, Julian Cope compiled an alternate Best of; Floored Genius Vol 2. The album was made of BBC recordings made in the under-the-gun environment of the BBC’s studios.
16 years later, Floored Genius Vol 2 is being reissued with a bonus disc featuring 13 previously unreleased BBC recordings, all handpicked by Julian. It features alternate version of 5 of his hit singles alongside rare and unreleased versions of many of his b-sides and album tracks. An essential addition to the Cope collection.
