Peggy Suicide
Peggy Suicide is the seventh album by Julian Cope. It is generally seen as the beginning of Cope's trademark sound and approach, and as a turning-point for Cope as a maturing artist.

"Peggy Suicide" was recorded and released following two lo-fi Cope albums - "Skellington" and "Droolian" - which had not gained official distribution and caused friction with Cope's label Island Records. Cope's previous Island release, "My Nation Underground", had not satisfied
take on Western music," and reached the conclusion that they could distill "the krautrock psyche" into a complete attitude which they would then apply to Cope's new album, much like that had with the R&B and Detroit soul styles on "Peggy Suicide".
After the world tour in promotion of "Peggy Suicide" ended in August 1991, Julian Cope entered the studio to record his next album with Cosby, Deutsch and keyboardist Donald Ross Skinner, with Cope and Skinner co-producing the album. Cope biographer
