The Official Art Vandelay Tapes

Originally released in 1983, this is one of Graham Parkers more collectable and sought after albums. After the success of “The Art Vandelay” on Lemon, it seems fitting to release this GP classic (this album has been bought and sold by collectors for some $90 dollars in recent years!!!), which has been deleted on CD for some 12 years now. Featuring a whole host of classic musicians including drummer Gilson from Squeeze/Jools Holland’s big band and Brinsley Swacharz on guitar, keys and vocals, this record contains one of Graham’s greatest ever songs “Life Gets Better”. Just Like A Man / You Can’t Take Love For Granted / Glass Jaw / Passive Resistance / Sounds Like Chains / Life Gets Better / Miracle A Minute / Beyond A Joke / Last Couple On The Dance Floor / Anniversary / (Too Late) The Smart Bomb Bonus Track I Want You Back
