Luca, if memory serves, finally got garrotted in a bar after being stabbed through the hand and this time the message got relayed ''back'' to Papa Brando: "Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes." Which means, apparently, that they've dumped his remains in the river. I believe it's the same as being told someone's wearing a concrete overcoat. | Luca, if memory serves, finally got garrotted in a bar after being stabbed through the hand and this time the message got relayed ''back'' to Papa Brando: "Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes."

This Mobile Fidelity release has been half-speed mastered from the original analogue tapes by Shawn Britton. The gatefold sleeve is made of heavy cardstock and inside carries photos of the original analogue tapes inside their boxes. Unlike the UK Stiff original, this MoFi reissue also includes "Watching The Detectives," recorded by Costello in 1977 with future backing band, The Attractions. Cleaner and somewhat brighter-sounding than the UK original, this 180g reissue comes heartily recommended. | This Mobile Fidelity release has been half-speed mastered from the original analogue tapes by Shawn Britton.
