Graham Parker: Passion Is No Ordinary Word

The Graham Parker Anthology 1976-1991

With its smart song selection and entertaining liner notes, Passion is No Ordinary Word is an excellent 2-CD anthology covering Parker's entire career, complete with such rarities as "Mercury Poisoning" and "I Want You Back (Alive)" among such signature songs as "White Honey" and "You Can't Be Too Strong." A terrific introduction to Parker's career.
