Parker, Graham - The Up Escalator

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON STIFF 1980

Stiff Seez 23 made in EEC with text inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover EX.

While it was something short of a hit, Squeezing Out Sparks did win a measure of richly deserved American recognition for Graham Parker & the Rumour, and for the follow-up, Parker's American record label, Arista, paired him up with hotshot producer Jimmy Iovine. The idea looked good on paper; Iovine had produced or engineered great sounding hard rock records for Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Patti Smith, and his tough but vibrant sound would seem the perfect match for Parker and his band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Parker
