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.
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.
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?” Features the original U.S. cover and includes a 7” EP of “Live at Hollywood High.”
TAKING LIBERTIES
Since he burst on the music scene in 1977, Elvis Costello waxed more sides than Columbia was able to fit onto his first four albums. 1980's Taking Liberties is a compilation of those tracks - unreleased masters, rare B-sides, English album cuts and collectors items. Elvis proves himself the most versatile young singer-entertainer of the day here with twenty exciting numbers delivered in a score of different, distinctive styles.   Hear the irrepressible Costello switch abruptly and with amazing skill from the solid rock-n'-roll beat of "(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea" to the gentle, touching mood of "My Funny Valentine"; from the low down gutty blues spirit of "Clowntime Is Over" to the earthy, heart-warming throb of "Stranger In the House"; from the easy going, country stroll of "Radio Sweetheart" to the swinging rhythm & blues tempo of "Getting Mighty Crowded."  That's the way it goes through this whole dynamic album - one change of pace after another. Yet never changing is the powerful, unique voice of Elvis Costello as it dominates and controls every song. And, as always, instrumental backing by the fabulous Attractions adds a fiery vigor to the proceedings. Still in his early-20's at the time, Elvis clearly demonstrates here that his potential and versatility were practically unlimited. Taking Liberties is now available on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1980!

Elvis Costello - Catalog Vinyl Bundle #2    “[His] summit as a singer, songwriter, and miserable-Irish-bastard pin-up boy” – Rolling Stone.       Exclusive early ‘80s era Elvis Costello 180g vinyl bundle featuring the soulful album Get Happy!! on 2 LP’s, the eclectic and ambitious Trust record, his soulful Country & Western covers album Almost Blue, and the universally hailed 1982 pop masterpiece Imperial Bedroom.
• FOUR classic Elvis Costello catalog albums on 180g vinyl
• All albums remastered from the original master tapes!
• Includes some of Elvis Costello’s best-known tunes: “High Fidelity,” “Riot Act,” “Motel Matches,” “The Imposter,” “I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down,” “Watch Your Step,” “Shot With His Own Gun,” “Good Year For the Roses,” “Man Out of Time,” “Beyond Belief,” “Almost Blue” and many more
• Get Happy!! now presented as a 2LP set
• Imperial Bedroom voted one of Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 166/500!

GET HAPPY!!
Re-mastered from the original master tapes, Elvis Costello’s soulful album Get Happy!! is now presented as a 2LP set (original was 1LP) on 180 gram vinyl. Paying homage to Northern soul, Motown, Stax, and Southern soul strains, and infused with smooth and gritty arrangements, Get Happy!! runs on an efficient R&B motor. Get Happy!! hit #11 on the Billboard 200. As essential as anything in Costello’s catalog, and one of the truly great records of the 1980s.
TRUST
Released in 1981, Trust is the fifth album from Costello and his fourth with The Attractions. The album has a cynical feel due to his disapproval of the politics of the country as well as discontentment in his marriage at that time. Country, soul, pop, rockabilly, two-step, punk-shot-through rock, jazz—Costello and the Attractions explore and master it all on Trust, all the while performing with an unencumbered directness and on-point coherence. No better example of the singer’s simultaneous stylistic reach and virtuosity exists.
ALMOST BLUE
Elvis Costello was so enamored with American country music when he finally discovered it, he was motivated to record Almost Blue. Renowned as one of the most passionate and enthusiastic covers albums ever made, the 12-song set finds the iconic singer/songwriter interpreting standards by the likes of Hank Williams, Gram Parsons, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and other legends. Replete with heartbreak, lonesomeness, boozing, cheating, and dreaming, it’s laden with country and western’s customary themes and dignified by one of the finest performances of Costello and the Attractions’ peerless career.
IMPERIAL BEDROOM
Recorded with famed Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick, Imperial Bedroom stands as Elvis Costello and the Attractions' most highly decorated traditional pop album. Boasting sumptuous arrangements, large-scale instrumentation, ambitious layers, Tin Pan Alley melodies, and orchestrated devices, the 1982 record is a testament to studio creativity and ornate production. Amidst the lavish settings beats the heart of Costello's biting, brutal lyrics that confront domestic malaise and sober emotional reflection.

PUNCH THE CLOCK
Punch the Clock is Elvis Costello & the Attractions’ most British record, a return to mainstream pop craft loaded with clever barbs and insightful social commentary that nearly landed the headliner in serious trouble with government representatives. Produced by the English hit-making team of Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, the jumpy and horn-accompanied 1983 effort includes Costello’s first-ever American Top 40 hit (“Everyday I Write the Book”) and a smooth sheen that reinforces the material’s commercial intent and catchy appeal. One of Elvis Costello's most iconic albums, Punch the Clock also includes the popular ballad “Shipbuilding” and “TKO (Boxing Day).”
GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD
Elvis Costello wasn't in a happy place when he began writing Goodbye Cruel World. His marriage collapsed between the record's start and finish. He was also dealing with what he deems the "dreadful 80s"—a period in which the importance of videos trumped musical merit, the government in his native England engaged in controversial conflicts, and nuclear threats hovered over daily life like a black cloud. What possible good came out of the age? A smart batch of songs that stands up to many of the singer-songwriter's better-known works and an underrated record. Includes the single “The Only Flame In Town,” and “Peace In Our Time.”
KING OF AMERICA
Elvis Costello spent the year prior to recording King of America embarking on a solo tour, usually accompanied by producer/singer-songwriter T-Bone Burnett. The pair’s decision to collaborate on Costello’s 1986 album came naturally, and the music sounds it—emotional, effortless, literate, seemingly uncomplicated. Credit, however, not only goes to the best batch of Costello originals since 1982’s Imperial Bedroom, but to the literally awesome and awe-inspiring cast of musicians Burnett invited to participate. Includes the hit single “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and other hugely popular songs such as "Brilliant Mistake," "American Without Tears," and "Indoor Fireworks."
BLOOD & CHOCOLATE
Known in his youth as the "angry young man," Elvis Costello waited until 1986 to create the most vicious record of his career. Stripped to the studs and produced by Nick Lowe, Blood and Chocolate seethes with vindictiveness, spite, and rancor. The 11-track effort clatters with raw rock n' roll menace and clangs with darkly humorous intent. Venomous, acerbic, and aggressive, it values rhythm and attack over harmony and melody. A volatile rite of passage on which harsh Telecaster riffs cut like razor blades and Costello spits words as if they were Molotov cocktails tossed at enemies, this is the satisfying sound of emotional catharsis. Blood and Chocolate finds Costello at his rawest with furious rockers like “I Hope You're Happy Now” and “Tokyo Storm Warning.” Even the ballad “I Want You” is menacing.
