Elvis Costello & Attractions 1st Press OZ LP with 45 Armed forces NM 78 New wave
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1978 on Radarscope Records. Cat: RAD14. Comes with printed inner bag which has a few light age spots and is in Near Mint condition. Also included a promotional three-song single, Live at Hollywood High, which was recorded on 4 June 1978. The live tracks, also produced by Nick Lowe, are "Accidents Will Happen," "Alison," and "Watching the Detectives”.After releasing and touring the intense This Year's Model, Elvis Costello quickly returned to the studio with the Attractions to record his third album, Armed Forces. In contrast to the stripped-down pop and rock of his first two albums, Armed Forces boasted a detailed and textured pop production, but it was hardly lavish. However, the more spacious arrangements complete with ringing pianos, echoing reverb, layered guitars, and harmonies accent Costello's melodies, making the record more accessible than his first two albums. Perversely, while the sound of Costello's music was becoming more open and welcoming, his songs became more insular and paranoid, even though he cloaked his emotions well.
