The Teardrop Explodes only recorded two studio albums in their prime – Kilimanjaro and Wilder – and I haven’t seen an in concert live album so these in the studio recordings are as close as we can get.

Lead singer Julian Cope went on to produce plenty of interesting albums afterwards but I can’t see that he revisited the Teardrop songs and recorded them live with a later band.
