Elvis Shock Growth!
Backstage
Formerly of normal-for-an-Englishman height, Elvis Costello has surprised everybody by shooting up to the point where he towers over lanky country star George Jones! "I cain't understand it!" admitted a baffled Jones. "Maybe it's the Ho-Ho's he's been eating since he's been over here recording!"

They're finally beginning to show the consistency that's the only excuse for obsessive popcraft. The songs are imaginative, compassionate, and of course hooky — the warped organ in "Heaven" bespeaks divine intervention. With Elvis Costello coproducing, the music is quite punchy, though I wouldn't go so far as to say it rocks. And speaking of punch, that's still what I'd like to do to Glenn Tilbrook — anything to make him stop sounding like Ray Davies after sex. B+
