Graham Parker and The Rumour have found a major problem concerning their new album Stick to Me. After first pressings it was discovered that there was a serious fault in the bass end of the recording. The band is now back in the studio re-recording, but so as to keep to the release date, the band has had to cancel a European tour with the exception of four days in Scandinavia. The band has now planned to add a four-piece brass section to any future live work.
