Description
🎸 Graham Parker & The Rumour
Live at Rockpalast 1978 + 1980 Volume 1
2LP Vinyl | Let Them Eat Vinyl | Released 2016
A blistering double dose of live Graham Parker & The Rumour, this 2LP set documents two legendary Rockpalast performances—Cologne in 1978 and Essen in 1980. Pressed on heavyweight black vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, it’s a time capsule of Parker’s razor-sharp songwriting and the Rumour’s tight, soulful backing.
From the punchy opener “Stupefaction” to the fan-favorite “Soul Shoes,” this release showcases Parker’s transition from pub rock firebrand to new wave icon. The 1980 set leans into The Up Escalator era, while the 1978 tracks (featured in Volume 2) reflect the Stick to Me period. Volume 1 focuses on the Essen 1980 show.
