LIVE AT NEWLANDS TAVERN

Graham Parker and the Rumour

This is the earliest known live recording of Graham Parker and the Rumour, taped from the audience sometime in 1975 at Newlands Tavern in London. This very rough and possibly incomplete audience tape has been making the rounds among GP afficianados for several years now, and we feel that despite the less than stellar sound quality, it deserves to be heard by more fans. But we also feel that, given the quality of the sound, it would be wrong to charge a high price and instead will be offering it as a free bonus to be given away to the first 200 buyers of the latest "Official Bootleg": Platinum Bastard. The recording is being offered as is - without editing or doctoring in any way, and so imperfections will be obvious. But the historical importance and the amazing energetic performances make this well worth the listen. Plus, it features such rarities as "Express Delivery" (only known recording with the Rumour), "The Raid" (two years before it appeared on the Stick To Me album), and the instrumental "Rockin' Hawk".

Promotional only - NOT FOR SALE.
