Description
Black vinyl 12" LP bootleg issued in paper stock printed sleeve. Bootleg Stiff labels. Vinyl cloudy with marks and hairlines; VG play tested; this pressing is noted for its poor bootleg quality, but it sounds better than most boots I've heard, with the usual underlying surface noise to some tracks; plays from VG-EX depending on the track. Some interesting Costello tracks on this record, two not noted on labels (see below). Sleeve EX+ as pictured. This is the far more rare and uncommon black vinyl, most found are clear. As pictured. I ship in record boxes with archival materials for safe delivery.
Track A7 - not listed
Track B7 - not listed, from 3rd John Peel Session, recorded 1978-10-23, broadcast 1978-10-30
Disc label states - "1977" "Promotional Copy - Not For Sale."
The sleeve credits the album to Elvis Costello while the record label says The Rumour.
Front sleeve - "HELP US HYPE ELVIS
Today is your lucky day. In your hands, an unashamed promotional scam courtesy of Stiff Records. We are trying to sell records and make Elvis a huge star. He is trying to pay off his mortgage. You have been recommended by .......... who was courteous enough to pay the postage. We were gracious enough to pay the album costs. El waived his royalties. So now we've done our bit - you do yours. Clamp your ears around this disc. If you like it spread the word. Play it. Pollute the metropolis. If you don't like it, remember that we know who you are and that we have your address. Our address is Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
All feedback not unwelcome."
Rear sleeve - Sleeve: "Special thanks to: The Rumor, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, and everyone else who made it all possible"
