Description
ELVIS COSTELLO โ MY AIM IS TRUE
A really strong and highly presentable UK Stiff Records copy of Elvis Costelloโs landmark debut album, with the distinctive colour sleeve and clearly identifiable A10/B10 runout configuration.
This is a particularly appealing example: the vinyl retains excellent gloss with only a few minor hairlines, playback is a strong VG+, and the sleeve presents beautifully with just very minor age-related wear.

CONDITION
VINYL VISUAL: STRONG VG+
A very attractive record visually.
The vinyl retains excellent deep gloss with only a few minor hairlines visible on close inspection. There is very little here to detract from the overall appearance and it presents comfortably at the stronger end of VG+.
VINYL PLAYBACK: STRONG VG+
A highly enjoyable playing copy.
Playback is strong VG+ throughout, with only very occasional minor background noise. The music remains clear, lively and involving, with nothing that materially detracts from the listening experience.
SLEEVE: VG+
A very smart sleeve with only very minor age-related wear.
It remains structurally very sound with a good strong spine, clean overall presentation and the striking artwork still displaying extremely well.
COLLECTORS NOTES
My Aim Is True remains one of the defining debut albums of its era and one of the essential titles from the Stiff Records catalogue.
This copy has plenty going for it: clear A10/B10 pressing identification, excellent vinyl gloss, strong playback and a sleeve that has survived extremely well.
Not a pristine museum piece, but exactly the sort of vintage copy many collectors prefer โ honest, exceptionally presentable and thoroughly enjoyable to play.
