MY AIM IS TRUE
Elvis Costello’s remarkable My Aim Is True announces the arrival of a singular talent. One of the greatest debut albums ever recorded, the 1977 set hasn’t lost any of the vibrant urgency, lyrical edge, or biting wit that made Costello the pin-up model for new-wave music.
Blending punk-fueled motivation with pub-rock, reggae, and classic American rock n’ roll strains, the landmark effort includes many of the singer’s best-known tunes: “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives,” and “Mystery Dance” included.
As an album that's notorious for being reissued umpteen times, Mobile Fidelity is thrilled to present the one edition of My Aim Is True that every fan needs to own. Mastered from the original master tapes—not from copies as so many other versions are—and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this numbered limited-edition LP presents the music with peerless clarity, purity, and transparency—just how it was intended to be heard.
THIS YEAR’S MODEL
The first record he made with his legendary backing band the Attractions, This Year’s Model is Elvis Costello’s most explosive and urgent album. Stylistically versatile and melodically catchy, this where Costello came into his own—and where the chemistry between virtuosic keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas, and drummer Pete Thomas produced one of rock’s best groups.
A dynamic maelstrom of emotional spite, bitter frustration, sexual angst, and caustic political commentary, the 1978 set boosted Costello’s star and yielded innumerable standards: the undying MOR protest “Radio Radio,” fervent “Pump It Up,” and spunky “No Action” are all here. More than 30 years after its original release, This Year’s Model will still leave you breathless.
Mastered from the original tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180-gram LP brings it all to the forefront like never before. Punchier, gutsier, and livelier than any of the myriad CD remasters, this analog edition offers a transparent window onto the Attractions’ loose interplay and rabid rhythms.
ARMED FORCES
Largely written on tour, Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces takes the concept of personal politics to a new level. A supremely melodic and hook-laden record, the 1979 set is a showcase of scintillating keyboard lines, sharp guitar work, and the most cohesive arrangements of Costello and the Attractions’ career. In every way, this is a pop masterpiece, defined by hits such as “Accidents Will Happen,” “Oliver’s Army,” and the anthemic “What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love and Understanding?”
Mastered from the original tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180-gram LP presents the vibrant dynamics of the timeless pop songs in the highest possible fidelity. This album has never sounded so full, rich, airy, spacious, detailed, or necessary. The textures and voicings of Nieve’s keyboards are alone worth the investment. This will have you dancing in the aisles!
