Wherein Elvis, with the help of the oddly-uncredited Attractions, ruthlessly out-rocks the punks. This is the combined version that we CD-listeners have enjoyed since the early '90s, with all of "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea," "Radio Radio," "Crawling to the U.S.A.," "Tiny Steps," and "Big Tears."
