There’s no need to hold hot coals to my bare feet and force me to confess the album that I have played more than anything in my entire life. I freely admit that, by a wide margin, it’s the American edition of Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model, with “Costello” on the label instead of “Columbia.”
I was working long hours at a radio station with a soft Adult Contemporary format. The U.S. Costello album concludes with the superb “Radio, Radio,” that isn’t on the UK edition. This is the stateside album cover.
