A sharp, tuneful debut of new-wave songcraft and barbed wit, home to 'Alison'. Clever and immediate. A great first record. Arrives at the top of the Elvis Costello page for good reason.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
