World Party is a British pop/rock band, consisting of only one member, Karl Wallinger. He started World Party after he left the Waterboys in 1985. In 1987, he released the first album titled 'Private Revolution', but it wasn't until 1990, when he released 'Goodbye Jumbo', that his music got more widespread notice. 'Message in the box' was the first single taken from the album. It reached number 39 in the UK singles chart.I bought this single box set in 2004, when I visited London. The box included, besides the single, a button and a large poster, both promoting the album.
My collection: 7" single no. 3408
Found: Record Exchange, London, December 2004

Any chance you could repost this one. The link seems to just bring up the cover image.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for "Nature Girl" (and several other World Party b-sides)for quite some time and would love to get a copy of it.
Great blog, by the way.
