Hate to say we told you so, but Elvis Costello's Bottom Line concert on | Hate to say we told you so, but Elvis Costello's Bottom Line concert on Wednesday night confirmed our prediction of last April, that he is one of the most unique and compelling young performers of the year.

Criticisms have been levelled at him for relying so heavily on new, unrecorded and unfamiliar material, but after several exposures to songs like "Lipstick Vogue," "Lip Service," "You Belong To Me," "The Beat" and "Radio, Radio" (a song that may not surface until his third album), Elvis has proven to us that he is a vital, new talent with a bright future. We told you so. | ||
Stop the presses: A party was thrown for El' last Thursday at the Ukrainian Restaurant and Ballroom where he took the stage once again.

With songs like those mentioned above, "There's No Action," "Crawling To the U.S.A.," "Chelsea" and "Dr. Luther's Assistant" he proved that the best has yet to come. A surprise one song appearance by Nick Lowe ("Heart Of The City") permanently endeared him to these columnists. | |||
