I originally purchased GP'S first 4 albums(not the live Parkerella). All excellent music. But I chose this compilation because it does an excellent job of including the very best tracks from those first 4 albums(except for Black Honey from the 1st). And the 2nd CD in this compilation has excellent cuts from his other albums up to 1991. Graham Parker deserves much more recognition for a very impressive musical legacy.

"Heat treatment" is my fav GP song, but I can't believe that that album("Heat Treatment", 1976) is not on BEA, very surprising.
