World Party - Goodbye Jumbo

180-gram vinyl

Everything clicked for former Waterboys member Karl Wallinger with this, his second World Party album. With Goodbye Jumbo, Wallinger delivered a '60s-soaked pop-rock gem, fusing his own sharp songwriting with generous nods to influences such as The Beatles, ELO and the Rolling Stones (most notably those "Sympathy for the Devil" hoo-hoos on "Way Down Now"). The album remain a high point for Wallinger, who, having recovered from an aneurysm, is reportedly working on a follow-up to 2000's Dumbing Up. 180-gram LP reissue.
