{"product_id":"saint-julian","title":"Saint Julian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSaint Julian\u003c\/em\u003e is the third solo album by \u003cstrong\u003eJulian Cope\u003c\/strong\u003e. It has a very strong pop sound, compared to other Cope releases, and spawned several of his best-known tracks (including \"\u003cem\u003eWorld Shut Your Mouth\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eTrampolene\u003c\/em\u003e\", which were both hit singles).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSigned to Island Records, his Iggy Pop\/Jim Morrison side was cultivated, the weirdness dialled down, leathers were worn, and a rock'n'roll microphone stand was utilised. The lead track \"\u003cem\u003eWorld Shut Your Mouth\u003c\/em\u003e\" gave Cope his first solo UK Top 20 hit, a big, brash slice of garage rock, it was a post-punk equivalent to David Bowie returning with Let's Dance; simple, straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by what Cope called his 'two-car garage band', the album reached No 11 in the UK chart, his highest placing to date whether solo or in The Teardrop Explodes, it also entered the US Billboard Hot 200. It's not all straight-ahead stomp, the eight-minute closer \"\u003cem\u003eA Crack In The Clouds\u003c\/em\u003e\" harks back to the Teardrop Explodes' Wilder, and Kate St. John's oboe on the title track evokes his Mercury albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50400427442507,"sku":"2179433","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50400427639115,"sku":"2212814","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50400427311435,"sku":"1025810","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/18e9453c-3dae-4231-9eb4-018241201f76_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726512619","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/saint-julian","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
