Home / Punk & New Wave / My Aim Is True
A sharp, tuneful debut of new-wave songcraft and barbed wit, home to 'Alison'. Clever and immediate. A great first record. Released in 1977, it's an early landmark for Elvis Costello.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
