I Am a Wallet is the debut studio album by English indie pop band McCarthy. It was first released in November 1987. After recording three singles, "In Purgatory", "Red Sleeping Beauty" and "Frans Hals", I Am a Wallet demonstrates jangly guitar pop reminiscent of The Byrds. While this form of indie pop was widespread in '80s underground Britain, McCarthy brought left-wing politics to the genre.

Listen free to McCarthy – I Am a Wallet (An Mp Speaks, Monetaries and more). MCarthy: British ultraliberal voice that was the forerunner of Stereolab only McCarthy was less subtle in their cynical left-leaning political rants. Their two albums were masterworks and are a rare treat to have. Their polemical pop nature go just as well today as when they came out. Get them - they're classics - re-issued together on one CD now too. Discover more music, concerts, videos, and pictures with the largest catalogue online at Last.
After recording two astonishingly beautiful singles, Red Sleeping Beauty and Frans Hals, the first album by McCarthy is a slice of three-minute, three-chord guitar pop reminiscent of the Byrds. The wonderful, if slightly twee, jangly guitars and upbeat drumming support Malcolm Eden's rather weedy vocals. While this form of indie pop was widespread in '80s underground Britain, McCarthy brought left-wing anarchist politics to the genre.
