In the summer of 1980, The Teardrop Explodes began recording their debut album, Kilimanjaro, at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire. The sessions were interrupted by touring requirements, and also by internal dissension. This peaked when Cope and Balfe opted to fire Mick Finkler as guitarist. It reached No. 29 on the UK chart and was certified Silver by the BPI, as Kilimanjaro had been. The next single, "Colours Fly Away" stalled at No. 57 in the UK chart, signaling the end of the Teardrops as a popular singles band. It was like building a house on scaffolding, on top of a tank moving at three miles an hour.

Kilimanjaro is the debut album by the neo-psychedelic Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes, released on 10 October 1980. It contains versions of the band's early singles – "Sleeping Gas", "Bouncing Babies", "Treason" & "When I Dream" – as well as their biggest hit, "Reward"

Passionate Friend" and "Colours Fly Away", the first two singles boasting new material since their Kilimanjaro album, both utilized brass in the same Motown-esque style, itself a decided shift in sound. And Teardrop Explodes fans were not impressed, "Colours Fly Away" failed to even break into the UK Top 50. It's still a grand song, just far from original. Collectors' Choice Music. The Greatest Hit.

Colours fly away from you, Lost in valid wondering, Angels fly their camoflage, Darkness that is shattered by the dawn. There's a new boy here to play our game, Shoot my eyes out I could wake up dreaming, This is where I score, Wise up to my tricks, Colour in my face and yell extremist. Someone's sleeping in my attic room, Someone's watching everything I'm doing, Harry Ranjet sings, Save a song for me, Heard you on the radio today.
