RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON WB 1981

WB K 56 816 made in Germany.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG+.

After the critical (and commercial) success of her debut two years earlier, Rickie Lee Jones had a lot riding on her sophomore album, Pirates. From the opening track, "We Belong Together," Jones served notice that she was willing to challenge herself and experiment with more unusual, complex song structures. Her unique phrasing and style reflect her interest in beat poets and the bohemian lifestyle, and on this album she relies on more obscure imagery than the direct, detailed observations on comrades used on her first album.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickie_Lee_Jones
