The box set will contain a beautiful leather-bound book (every copy signed and numbered) plus 3 CDs compiled by Julian and produced by ACE Records which are designed to be listened to whilst reading.

The book itself comprises of a collection of album reviews and themed track samplers that lay out an alternative history of the last six decades of popular music, written by the visionary musician, antiquarian and musicologist.
The result is a feast of obscure and neglected masterworks; Krautrock, motorik and post-punk, stoner and doom metal, occasionally even jazz, spoken word and hair metal.
Cope is the perfect guide to this novel terrain: impeccably informed, passionate, insightful and deeply funny.
The Copendium is his re-imagining of a useful canon of popular music, and it is set to become required reading.

Julian Cope is one of Britain's most influential and revered songwriters. He is a leading authority on Neolithic culture, a committed political activist, a much respected musicologist and critic, and an experimental occultist. His many books include Head On, The Modern Antiquarian and Japrocksampler. Julian lives in Wiltshire with his wife and family.
