Graham Parker non ha bisogno d’introduzioni, si tratta di uno dei migliori cantautori ed interprete inglesi di sempre come testimonia la sua discografia anni ’70 dov’era accompagnato da una delle migliori bands del periodo, i Rumour. Questo box di 6 cd per la sua etichetta Up Yours in edizione privata ed ora disponibile anche in commercio grazie all'attenta Floating World ad un prezzo più che accessibile per i suoi numerosi fans rappresenta un evento per i cultori del rock d’autore. 6 cd di materiale inedito o “live” dai suoi archivi personali rappresentano un’attrattiva unica per tutti i suoi ammiratori e non solo. Personaggio più maturo e complesso dell’intero pub-rock movement che racchiude ”il soul sanguigno di Van Morrison, il folk arrabbiato di Dylan, il country introverso di Neil Young e la veemenza proletaria di Springsteen”. E come ogni buon vero (official ) bootleg che si rispetti ricordiamoci che è in tiratura limitata.- Grahama Parker – The Official Bootleg Splendido box di 6 cd in edizione digipack, graziosa ed originale, dall’aspetto di un vero e proprio bootleg contenente: “Graham Parker & The Figgs – Live From Somewhere”, “The Bastrd Of Belgium’s Bastard Brother”, “Yer Cowboy Boot”, “Platinum Bastard”, “Graham Parker And The Small Clubs – Burning Bridges” e il ricercatissimo “Graham Parker & The Rumour Live At Newlands Tavern 1975”.
