The golden age of Elvis. So many good tracks here, including Beyond Belief, Shabby Doll, Almost Blue, and the Town Cryer. Unforgettable.

Elvis Costello slows the pace down on this one - a little more downbeat, but just as vital as his first few albums.

It's a shame not enough people know this album. Some of Elvis' best songs on here including Man Out of Time, The Loved Ones, and Pidgin English. Costello's creative peak.

The magazine ads for this album in 1982 said one thing ... "Masterpiece?" Twenty-eight years later I can say "YES"
