To help pass the time till the start of Graham Parker's Big Year (more details HERE) MRML is going to dig into the bulging 'GP stuff' folder, to bring you a wide-ranging selection of bootlegs and out-of-print wonders, as we've done before (see HERE) and will do again.
To complement yesterday 2 X 7 version, here's the 12" extended version of the lead-off single, "Break Them Down", from one of Parker's many comeback album, 1985's Steady Nerves in this case.
Tracklist
A1. Break Them Down (Checked Shirts, Radios, Barbed Wire) 6:18
B1. Everyone's Hand Is On The Switch 3:23
Hey, while you're diggin' all this GP-ness don't neglect to check out all the parallel Parker-ing going on at some of the other blogs we love:
Power Pop Criminals offers a vintage '79 era bootleg HERE
Cover Me looks at some of the non-originals in GP's repertoire HERE
Teenage Dogs in Trouble offers up a newer Parker Rarity HERE
The Rare Stuff has (had?) a cool acoustic bootleg of GP opening up for BD HERE
GP fans - what do you make of this extended mix? Do you think the Steady Nerves album was a comeback? Do you wanna hear STILL more Parker rarities? Let us know in the COMMENTS section (which is where you'll find the Break Them Down 12" link).

there can never ever be enough GP . . . thanks for all this. to say he is vastly underappreciated is the tip of the iceberg. would you happen to have the tribute cd (vinegar and piss was its title perhaps?) done some 15 years back or so? continue doing what you're doing, the hard work is appreciated.
