Cope (song)

"Cope" is a song written and performed by Gigolo Aunts. Originally available as the B-side to the independently released 1991 "Bloom" 7" single, it was released as a single in its own right in October 1992^[1] on Fire Records and later appeared on the Gigolo Aunts' album Flippin' Out. In support of that album, it was released as a promo single in the US in 1994 by RCA/BMG. The promo single includes a cover of "Winsor Dam", a 1991 recording by Big Dipper that did not receive its formal release until the 2008 compilation album, "Supercluster: The Big Dipper Anthology".^[2] Note that while the single attributes the writing credits for "Winsor Dam" to Goffrier/Oliphant/Michener/Waleik, other sources identify the writer of the song as Big Dipper guitarist, Gary Waleik.^[3]
