Second album by rock and roll singer-songwriter Graham Parker. A close follow-up to the debut album, Howlin' Wind, Heat Treatment was well received by critics and contains signature Parker songs like the rollicking title track, "Pourin' It All Out", and "Fool's Gold". "That's What They All Say" is a Dylan-esque putdown from a realist perspective, while "Turned Up Too Late" was perhaps Parker's most emotionally mature composition to date. "Black Honey" is a dark, downcast sequel to the debut's upbeat first track "White Honey". "Hotel Chambermaid" was covered many years later by Rod Stewart.

Heat treating is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve a desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering and quenching. It is noteworthy that while the term heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally, heating and cooling often occur incidentally during other manufacturing processes such as hot forming or welding.

Le traitement thermique d'une pièce consiste à lui faire subir des transformations de structure grâce à des cycles prédéterminés de chauffage et de refroidissement afin d'en améliorer les caractéristiques mécaniques : dureté, ductilité, limite d'élasticité, ...

熱処理（ねつしょり、heat treatment）とは、形状加工と同様に素材の完成度を高める方法であり、加熱・冷却により素材の性質を変化させる処理のことである。金属などを加熱・冷却して硬度や性質を変化させること。また、食物などにおける加熱殺菌処理および加味処理のこと。
