Randy Newman, Trouble in Paradise, 1983 on Warner Bros.

Seventh studio album for satirist/songwriter Randy Newman, including “I Love L.A.” and “The Blues” which was a duet with Paul Simon. Produced by Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman and recorded in North Hollywood.

My copy—via the Worcester Record Riot—is an Allied pressing from 1983 with the “lined” WB labels and inner liner. Its got an original hype sticker promoting the duet with Simon, a “promotional use only” gold stamp, and one of those St. Mark’s sounds stickers that are notoriously difficult to remove (so I’ve not even tried on this one).

  1. @john “I Love L.A.” is such a deliciously stupid song.

    Everyone I hear it I think “I can’t believe how much I love this stupid song…”
