Elvis Costello began his recording career in 1977 at Stiff Records, a label renowned for its canny, cavalier marketing escapades. Thirty years on, the old dog hasn't forgotten the tricks of his trade. The decision initially to give his new record a vinyl-only release wasn't simply a defiant declaration that albums should still be regarded as unified works of art (''Momofuku'' even opens with the sneering couplet: ''"In the not very distant future / When everything is free"''; are you listening, Thom?), it also ensured that by the time ''Momofuku'' slipped out as — inevitably — a CD and download, it had received more attention than anything Costello has done since the invention of the iPod. | Elvis Costello began his recording career in 1977 at Stiff Records, a label renowned for its canny, cavalier marketing escapades.
