Graham Parker and The Rumour had an extraordinary run of superb albums from 1976 - 1980. This was their
last great song. In the decades that followed, GP never again approached this ferocious level of rock and roll
commitment. Together, GP and The Rumour were truly greater than the sum of their parts.
If you don't have them in your collection, start with Howlin' Wind, then Heat Treatment, and follow those
up
with Stick To Me, Squeezing Out Sparks, and their final album, The Up Escalator.
