Elvis Costello's numerous career twists and turns notwithstanding (he's a torchsinger this week, apparently), his plea for greatness mostly rests upon his work between 1977-1987. These three expertly annotated boxes feature that period's singles, although gallingly and wastefully they're split into individual CDs. While the host albums were often works of wonder and such A-sides as "Oliver's Army," "High Fidelity" and "New Amsterdam" were benchmarks of an era, Costello also invested unusual care and attention on his B-sides. The mesmerising "Hoover Factory" and "Turning The Town Red," the theme to the eminently repeatable '80s TV series ''Scully'', are especially fine.

Elvis Costello's numerous career twists and turns notwithstanding (he's a torchsinger this week, apparently), his plea for greatness mostly rests upon his work between 1977-1987. These three expertly annotated boxes feature that period's singles, although gallingly and wastefully they're split into individual CDs. While the host albums were often works of wonder and such A-sides as "Oliver's Army," "High Fidelity" and "New Amsterdam" were benchmarks of an era, Costello also invested unusual care and attention on his B-sides. The mesmerising "Hoover Factory" and "Turning The Town Red," the theme to the eminently repeatable '80s TV series Scully, are especially fine.
