Description


Expanding their sound from the tightly wound new wave rock of 'This Year's Model', Elvis Costello and the Attractions returned with the lyrically bilious but musically expansive 'Armed Forces'. A key album in Costello's development for the way it branched off into the Abba influenced pure pop of 'Accidents Will Happen' and 'Oliver's Army,' the sunny Beatlesque melodies of 'Busy Bodies,' and the soulful ballad 'Party Girl,' 'Armed Forces' is consistently rated among the finest works in the singer-songwriter's canon.LP - 180 Gram vinyl with 7" and Download.
