Richard & Linda Thompson - Hokey Pokey (LP)

Sealed. Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 

Hokey Pokey, Richard and Linda's second album together, is a jollier release than it's predecessor. Richard was a fan of Harry Lauder and Gracie Fields, and this inspiration can be seen in the Victorian style cover art, and audible on both the title track and "Georgie On A Spree" It is a mixture of darkly comical songs like "Smiffy's Glass Eye" and the wearier tones of "I'll Regret It All In The Morning" and "A Heart Needs A Home". Songs like "The Egypt Room" are more somber.
