Annotation
This is the original UK Release from Radar Records.
Elvis's true breakthrough LP, with a much harder sound than 'My Aim Is True' and featuring the Attractions as his backing band (though the LP is credited to Costello as a solo artist). The run off groove of original UK pressings featured a message to call Moira and gave a number. In return, those bold enough to call received a signed photo print and a badge.
The first copies of the original 1978-03-17 UK Radar Records vinyl release (RAD3) included a free 7" 2 track bonus single (SAM 83).
