 This double-disc retrospective is perfectly suited to an artist of Graham Parker's nature. The prototypical 1970s Angry Young Bloke, Parker bridged the decade's pub-rock and punk-rock phases, which made him pivotal artistically, but commercially marginal. After an initial out-of-the-gate flurry that culminated with the near-faultless Squeezing Out Sparks, Parker popularity flailed. Parker never released an album that was totally without merit, however. The beauty of Passion Is No Ordinary Word is that it thoroughly chronicles Parker's peak and knowingly cherry picks his more problematic later releases. Indeed, in this setting, the latter-day likes of "You Can't Take Love for Granted " and "Strong Winds " sound almost as appealing as such early high points as "Discovering Japan " and "Fool's Gold. "
