Download it I say - I've already come across one site (which I shan't link to for reasons of legality blah blah blah) that has been posting a few chunks of the albums listed in the book, and record-collectors/sellers have been capitalising on the cultish rareness of these kinds of records for years, flogging bootlegs and dubious limited pressings and so on for ridiculously inflated £££, so it's just desserts I reckon (REVENGE, even).
It's also good to bear in mind that enjoyable as Cope's enthusiasm is, as with his German book, a fair chunk of this stuff basically just isn't as good as it's cracked up to be, (in my experience anyway). It trades a lot on it's rare-ness and exoticism when resold in the West rather than it's musical value, and from what I can gather Cope has just rolled along with this for the most part, rather than addressing it. |
