Description

PRESSING INFO
ARTIST: Elvis Costello
TITLE: Our Aim is True
LABEL: "Stiff Records"
CAT#: ??

CONDITION
WAX: VG+ • light surface marks visible under bright light but overall clean and "new" in appearance
COVER: VG+ the cover looks clean and white but small poke hole in bottom right corner and the "ring wear" depression you get with thin sleeves.
LABELS: EX • plain white and solid.
DETAILS: Very rare promo for Elvis Costello on Stiff Records.  There have been a thousand and one stories about the history of this record and I still can't find the truth. All I know is that in all the years of my hunting that I have seen three copies. Both of the other copies were in poor condition, unlike this one, and both of the other copies had printed center labels.  This one has plain white labels suggesting it could be a test pressing or a white label. I can't find anything to match this to or support any details otherwise. Regardless, it's a great record with good sound quality.

This is printed on the cover:
 "HELP US HYPE ELVIS
Today is your lucky day. In your hands, an unashamed promotional
scam courtesy of Stiff Records. We are trying to sell records and
make Elvis a huge star. He is trying to pay off his mortgage. You
have been recommended by .......... who was courteous enough to pay
the postage. We were gracious enough to pay the album costs. El
waived his royalties. So now we've done our bit - you do yours.
Clamp your ears around this disc. If you like it spread the word.
Play it. Pollute the metropolis. If you don't like it, remember
that we know who you are and that we have your address. Our address
is Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
All feedback not unwelcome."
