Product Details

Randy Newman had already spent a decade perfecting the art of the unreliable narrator before "Trouble in Paradise" arrived, and the album finds him balancing sharp political satire with genuine pop craft at a moment when both felt urgent. The early '80s Los Angeles setting runs through the record like a fault line, connecting the Hollywood cynicism Newman had been mapping since "Sail Away."


Vinyl LP pressing. Named one of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s by Rolling Stone. Featuring the anthem "I Love L.A.," that helped define his legacy as a voice in American music. This edition will also feature Un Samedi en Décembre, a promotional live album originally released exclusively in France and included with early French copies of the album and the previous unissued demos. With Warner Bros. Hitmakers Russ Titelman and Lenny Waronker producing, and star-studded cast of guest vocalists including Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, and Bob Seger, the 1983 collection display the craftsmanship that would make the singer-songwriter one of the most sought-after composers for film and TV.
