Remastered from the Original Master Tapes!

A transitional album for Costello and the Attractions, this was the last for a long while with Nick Lowe at the production helm, and the first where Costello calmed down….just a little. A couple of tunes were written back in 1976, others showed him trading the noisy intensity of old for a quieter kind of intensity. As Costello notes in the liner notes, “The sessions were often frantic, swinging from elation to despair, for which I must take most of the blame.”

Some of the Attractions’ best performances can still be heard in tracks like “Clubland,” “Strict Time” and “New Lace Sleeves,” all of which turned up regularly in later live shows. The album swung from frantic rockers like “From a Whisper to a Scream” (featuring Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook on duet vocal) to a country song “Different Finger,” to a slower Booker T.-type groove on “Watch Your Step.” And the advance single “Clubland” showed that Costello’s desire to bite the hand that fed him was still intact.
