Parker, Graham & The Rumour ‎– Squeezing Out Sparks

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON VERTIGO 1979

Vertigo 6360168 made in EEC.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG.

Generally regarded as Graham Parker's finest album, Squeezing Out Sparks is a masterful fusion of pub rock classicism, new wave pop, and pure vitriol that makes even his most conventional singer/songwriter numbers bristle with energy. Not only does Parker deliver his best, most consistent set of songs, but he offers more succinct hooks than before -- "Local Girls" and "Discovering Japan" are powered by quirky hooks that make them new wave classics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Parker
