It's the man Elvis Costello (allegedly) stole it all from and this seems to be his most celebrated album.

I do believe it features guest appearances from Bruce Springclean, members of the E-Street Band and Quiver, displaying Parker's remarkable clout for one whose chart performances were less than stellar.

Is that the Rumour?

Six minutes to go.

I think the copy we're using has the UK track listing.

It's started!

Track 1 - No Holding Back.

Actual vinyl copy.

Complete with crackles and hisses.

In light of what's been speculated above and abroad, this seems somewhat apt.

Hold on. I think this is Endless Night.

Is he playing Side 2 first?

Was there an actual skip in the vinyl there?

Oops, too busy on that other thread.



He has, he's put side 2 first!


Side B
Endless Night
Paralysed
Manoeuvres  ---------------------CENSORED-----------------------
Empty Lives  
The Beating Of Another Heart
         Side A
No Holding Back  
Devil's Sidewalk  
Stupefaction  
Love Without Greed  
Jolie, Jolie

Anyway, this is very lively.

Track 2 - Paralyzed.

This does sounds like Elvis Costello, but I don't want to punch random people in the face after 30 seconds.

Like, and yet, so unlike.

I have been very thrown by him playing Side 2 first. It has upset my sense of equilibrium.

Key change halfway through a guitar solo.

Track 3 - Maneuvers.

It's got that same horrible keyboard sound with piano over the top that sounds just like you know who.

Hold on. I know this. This is Empty Lives.
