Robert Palmer / “Collected” on 2LP vinyl

rp_collected2lp

Universal Netherlands’ excellent three-CD set, Robert Palmer Collected is being put out as a double vinyl set by Music On Vinyl in November.

Obviously, this two-LP edition has to boil down the 56 tracks on the triple-CD set dramatically (to 27) but there’s still space for it to go a little off-piste towards the end of the second LP by including Vinegar Joe‘s Never Met A Dog and The Power Station‘s Some Like It Hot.

Almost all of Palmer’s studio albums are represented here, although there is nothing from his last effort Drive (2003), 1999’s Rhythm & Blues, or the exquisite Big Band stylings of Ridin’ High (1992). Arguably, Sneaking Sally Though The Alley is rather under represented, with just the title track flying the flag for Robert’s superb 1974 debut.

Nevertheless, all the hits are here and I’ll be picking this up, because – probably like many of you – my Robert Palmer vinyl collection is pretty slim at this moment in time.

This vinyl edition of Collected comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 4-page insert/booklet. It is out on 2LP vinyl on 11 November 2016.
