Company Profile

Double Fun

Double Fun is the fourth solo album by Robert Palmer, released in 1978. Self-produced, this pop album is influenced by multiple genres including blue-eyed soul, disco and heavy rock but maintains an overall consistency of production which holds it all together. The album peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart in 1978, his highest rank up to that point, and includes a top 20 hit, "Every Kinda People".

Critical reception
The Globe and Mail noted that "Double Fun, like his others, is pristine and unwrinkled, both of which were once virtues but are now in danger of becoming vices." ==2012 reissue==

The label side of the CD features a replica of what the original Island label looked like at the time of issue and even features "grooves" as if the black CD is made of vinyl. The reissues did not have any additional outtakes or bonus tracks. ==Track listing==
