World Party - Goodbye Jumbo - Vinyl Record
World Party's Goodbye Jumbo is Karl Wallinger's masterpiece — a one-man-band tour de force of classic pop songwriting that channels The Beatles, Prince, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Wonder into songs so perfectly crafted they feel like they've existed forever. Released in 1990, it delivered "Way Down Now" and "Put the Message in the Box" and established Wallinger as one of the great, criminally underappreciated pop craftsmen of his era.
"Put the Message in the Box" is pure pop perfection — an irresistible melody carried by Wallinger's warm vocal and a chorus that demands to be sung along with. "Way Down Now" rocks with a Dylanesque groove, "Thank You World" shimmers with gratitude and Beatlesque harmonies, and "Sweet Soul Dream" builds to a gorgeous, gospel-tinged climax. Wallinger played virtually every instrument, yet the album sounds like a full band at the height of their powers.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
