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."

Yay, another 5-star album for the largely-parched 1978. Unfortunately, it belongs in 1975, but BEA won't let me put it there.

One of the most underrated albums of all-time. The last 5-star album here.
