It's a neat trick, and one that the Last Dinner Party are more than capable of pulling off. These are all big-hearted songs dreamed up in small rooms, and painted in bold Broadway strokes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47196040626411,"sku":"VVA1022","price":31.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/5692\/3115\/files\/3AxfviSyJ4zbmmwCbeJTST6KsMttLlyBmmVTZ6_CLs0.jpg?v=1766164104","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylveritas.com\/products\/last-dinner-party-from-the-pyre","provider":"Vinyl Veritas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
