Saint Julian

Double vinyl LP pressing. Saint Julian is the third solo album by Julian Cope. It spawned several of his best known tracks including "World Shut Your Mouth" and "Trampolene", which were both hit singles. Saint Julian was the first album recorded under a new Cope deal with Island Records, following two poorly selling albums on the Mercury/Polygram label. To record and tour the album, Cope put together a new backing group, informally known as the Two-Car Garage Band. This featured lead guitarist Donald Ross Skinner and former Waterboys drummer Chris Whitten plus bass player James Eller and Cope himself on vocals and rhythm guitar. For the album, Cope also played keyboards under the alias of Double DeHarrison.
