Description

This is a nice, clean copy of the long-out-of-print, much-sought-after Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs pressing of Elvis Costello's third album (and his second with The Attractions), 1979's Armed Forces. His cover of Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding?" was the big hit, but it's a masterpiece from beginning to end, from Elvis's bulletproof first five years as a recording artist. 
The LP sounds great on my Pro-Ject turntable. There are a few minor pops and ticks, mostly only audible in between tracks, but I can't say this is a mint-condition record. It's a very nice listening copy. Ships via Media Mail.
