"Help us hype Elvis," proclaim Stiff on an inside sheet. Well they don't seem to be doing too badly themselves. 'Course, if you like posters composed of parts of music weeklies, then stroll on. I remember reading some high-up in a record company explaining in great detail how Neil Young's image was the fact that he didn't have an image, the "anti-image," if you like. Funny, though, how some of the best acts start life as a doodle on a record company exec's blotter — the example that comes straight to mind is Brinsley Schwartz. And it's all worth it for Elvis Costello, too. | "Help us hype Elvis," proclaim Stiff on an inside [[:image:1977 Stiff Records Help Us Hype Elvis form.jpg|sheet]].

But Elvis Costello? I remember when this geezer was strutting his stuff fronting one of the best pub bands in London, [[Flip City]]. This album, following a swift change of name and band, doesn't represent too much of a change from the sort of thing Flip City were doing. They're all Costello originals, and they're all excellent. | But Elvis Costello? I remember when this geezer was strutting his stuff fronting one of the best pub bands in London, [[Flip City]].
