This week marks the release of a very tricked-out and vastly expanded deluxe edition (I'd say three CDs is sufficient) of the Teardrop Explodes seminal (in some corners anyway) debut, Kilimanjaro (yes the one with the zebras on the cover).  It's currently available only as an import sad to say, but I'd try Amazon in the UK for the quickest gratification and a more competitive price.  As for myself, I'm not in possession of a copy, and even if I were, I suspect Julian Cope and his accomplices wouldn't be to keen on me sharing it gratis.  Instead, I'm treating you to an FM broadcast of a 1981 Teardrop Explodes show recorded on their first American trek.  Kilimanjaro had been out for a good year or so, and as such many classics-to-be make an obligatory appearance in the set, but the Mt. Vernon crowd also got a preview of the band's next album, Wilder.  "Treason," "Sleeping Gas," and "When I Dream" are all present and accounted for, and save for some slight radio static here and there the sound is impeccable.
