The Jehovahcoat Demos is an album by Julian Cope, released in 2011. It is technically Cope's twenty-sixth solo album, and the mostly instrumental album contains 15 previously unreleased tracks, written and recorded by Cope throughout 1993 in direct response to having been dropped by Island Records in October 1992.[2]
The album derives its title from Cope collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Donald Ross Skinner, who, throughout the post-Island Records period, constantly referred to wearing his imaginary 'Jehovahcoat'. This being - according to Skinner - the ultimate Julian Cope promo item.[3]
