Pinker and Prouder Than Previous

Pinker and Prouder Than Previous is a 1988 album by British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. It was released by Demon Records in the UK and Europe, and was his final album for Columbia Records in the US.

On 20 October 2017 Yep Roc Records reissued it on CD and LP, marking its first release on compact disc in the US.

Reception
Spin wrote, "Plainer and Poorer than Previous is more like it. Lowe lives up to his nickname, 'Basher,' by knocking out a set of tunes that, for the large part, sound as if little care or thought was put into them. I'm beginning to wonder if the Jesus of Cool is becoming a lazy Judas."
