What's in a name? Fame, maybe, if the name is Elvis. | |||
Shortly after the death of Elvis Presley, a rash of imitators appeared on the skin of rock and pop. | |||
And then came along a man with the same first name. Elvis Costello. But he had something to offer and his first two albums made the charts of best-selling records. | |||
And now a third album, ''Armed Forces'', by Elvis Costello and The Attractions (Columbia 3570), is convincing testimony that this Elvis is no fluke. | |||
The album also includes a bonus EP disc, ''Elvis Costello Live at Hollywood High''. The album and the EP contain separate versions of "Accidents Will Happen," with the faster tempo on the LP. | |||
As usual Costello gets good backing from The Attractions. | |||
Among the better — that means really good — numbers are "Watchin' the Detectives," "Moods for Moderns," "Two Little Hitlers" and "Party Girl." | |||
