Costello's 7-day Xmas attraction


Sounds

Elvis Costello and The Attractions have now finalised the details for his Christmas London concerts, first news of which was revealed in Sounds a month ago. He will play seven nights at the Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road (currently showing Star Wars which it will suspend for a week) from December 18 to 24.

Tickets are priced at £4, £3 and £2 and go on sale this Friday at the box office and other ticket agencies. The concerts will start at 8pm from December 18 to 22 inclusive and at 9pm on December 23 and 24.

A full British tour is being lined up for the New Year and dates will be announced soon. His new single, "Radio, Radio," is released this weekend by Radar.

Costello's third album should be complete by the end of this month and will hopefully be released shortly before Christmas. Next month Costello goes to Canada for a series of dates and then goes to Hawaii, Japan and Australia, returning to Britain in mid-December.

Single Of The Week (predictable)

1978-10-21 Sounds page 36.jpg

An interesting case of stylistic deja vu with this American B-side now released as an A-side in the UK. Definitely a backwards look at the first album, but no less enjoyable, with its purposeful, gritty organ work, well-up-to-standard Elvis lyrics and, gosh, a story line too. Got to be big.
