Update: When we first wrote about Elvis Costello several months ago, people thought it was a joke. Now El is the object of a bidding war taking place between several major U.S. labels eager to release his My Aim Is True album and pick up on some of his Stiff label mates. Elvis' album is among the most played items at KSAN and WNEW and is currently one of the best selling imports around. According to Allen Frey, Stiff's American label representative, the excitement he is generating has had the phone ringing off the hook. This weekend, Elvis will be on a bill with Santana and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (who are no slouches either) at the Crystal Palace in London while dates are being booked here for a November-December tour. By that time, Elvis' album will be available with several modifications: "Alison" will boast a string arrangement and a couple of songs, including "Blame It On Caine," will be live versions. In other Stiff news, their latest single is by Ian Dury. It's called "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll." We wonder how they'll promote that one.
