Product Description
From Amazon.com
With his second album, Elvis Costello firmly established himself as one of rock's--not just punk/new wave's--premier singer-songwriters. Building on the promise of his '77 debut, My Aim Is True, Costello put together a backing touring trio, the Attractions (keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas, and drummer Pete Thomas), and their versatility helped Costello define himself as a punk-fuelled power-pop force. Sporting influences ranging from Bob Dylan (the stream-of-consciousness "Pump It Up") to Burt Bacharach (the Dusty Springfield-worthy "Little Triggers"), this '78-released collection also features such righteously angry anthems as the anti-conformist "This Year's Girl," and the anti-MOR classic, "Radio Radio." --Billy Altman

The basslines on this album are really amazing, powerful and sublime like a tiger running through a jungle of chord changes. A must buy for all of my fans, I drafted in a bloke called Declan something or other to sing and he didn't do a half bad job, a good foil to bottom end eplorations.

That is, if you already have the album, as many of us do. You get 17 live songs from a artist arguably at his peak - I was lucky enough to attend one of these shows in 1978 and it was fantastic. The show from Washington doesn't quite match up to my recollection but it's still great stuff and a joy to hear.

I can see why some people are dismayed by multiple issues of Costello's back catalogue, but come on, nobody is forcing you to buy them all. And it seems to me, a keen collector of his work, that each issue has contained important new bonus material. And often overall sound quality has improved too. I wanted to hear the 1978 concert (I saw Elvis and the Attractions at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road around that time). It's exciting, and worth the price of admission.
I hope EC continues to allow the release of material from the vaults for those of us who want to collect it!!!

No Action
Another shed-load of cash for Elvis with yet another reissue of the same old stuff. Great in its day, surely the time has come to call "enough". A sad end.

Still brilliant
To me this is the greatest Elvis Costello album. The one by which I measure all others.

A great album as has been said. But as someone who's bought the vinyl, the CD, the CD with extra tracks and the CD with an extra CD, I've just about reached my limit. Read more
