Learning To Cope With Cowardice / The Lost Tapes (Definitive Edition) (Vinyl 2xLP) Folk & Americana

Learning To Cope With Cowardice / The Lost Tapes (Definitive Edition) (Vinyl 2xLP) Folk & AmericanaThe groundbreaking debut solo album, Learning To Cope With Cowardice, by visionary post punk iconoclast Mark Stewart, is to be given a definitive reissue alongside The Lost Tapes, a newly discovered cache of unreleased material described by Mark and Adrian Sherwood as distinct primitivism. After disbanding The Pop Group in the wake of a final performance at a momentous CND rally in 1980, Stewart had grown disillusioned with the UKs music industry.
