From the album Fried (1984)
“Sunspots” by Julian Cope appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 1984 on the album Fried. Its best result is #1505 on the Fred XM Top 2044 Songs of All-Time (July 2003). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,223 alternative song of all time.
"Sunspots" comes off Fried, Julian Cope's 1984 album on Mercury, and it's his song top to bottom, words and music, with Cope himself on guitar, bass and organ. Steve Lovell produced it and pitched in on electric guitar and, in a nice left turn, recorder. Donald Ross Skinner adds electric and slide guitar, Johnno one more electric guitar, and Chris Whitten plays the drums. That's a pile of guitars for one track. Paul Watkins recorded and engineered it.
