No Parlez is the debut solo studio album by English singer Paul Young. Released in 1983, it reached number one on the UK Albums Chart (for a non-consecutive total of 5 weeks) and remained in the UK Top 100 for 119 weeks. The album has been certified quadruple platinum by the BPI for UK sales in excess of 1.2 million copies. The album featured eight cover versions alongside two tracks written by Young and keyboard player Ian Kewley and one written by the guitarist in Young's band at the time, Steve Bolton. Three of the cover versions were written by Jack Lee. Initially, the first two singles, "Iron Out the Rough Spots" and a remake of "Love of the Common People", had no success, but the third, a cover of the Marvin Gaye classic "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)", was No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in July and August 1983, and the first of Young's 14 British Top 40 singles. Similar success followed in continental Europe. In the UK, the follow-up single "Come Back and Stay" reached No. 4, and the re-release of "Love of the Common People" made it to No. 2 in late 1983. #nowspinning #vinyladdiction #vinylcollection #thorens #thorensturntable #thorenstd160 #thorenstd160mk2 #nowspinning #nowspinningvinyl #nowspinningonvinyl #vinyl33rpm #noparlez #paulyoung #paulyoungandtheroyalfamily (bij Groene Engel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLqLG6M4b4TsEgd4hIX9zjPxdL6E8ErkA3mb00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
