A must have! Start here! This is the album that broke Costello in the US, and the first to feature 'the Attractions'. Includes Pump it up, IDWTGT Chelsea and Radio Radio. Musical snide at it's best.

Must have! A step into the Stax and Motown-influenced pop: a massive record full of great songs. Considered by many to be his finest hour.

Elvis covers Gram Parsons, George Jones and more country greats, and makes them his own. A smashing album, and a great introduction to American country music for the unitiated.

The first produced by Langer and Winstanley, some fine songs, a lot of horns, and some good lyrics. Sometimes the production feels 'over the top' on this album though. Features Shipbuilding.

A good return to form for EC, albeit without the Attractions. Elvis goes Americana again, with some covers and some of his own stuff.

One of his best selling albums, featuring songs co-written with Paul McCartney. A great album, but somewhat eclectic in it's themes.

With the Brodsky Quartet, Costello wrote this album of chamber music. Some very delicate songs, and lyrics, but not for those who don't like classical music very much.

An average set of covers of songs that have influenced Costello. Great if you want to let Costello introduce you to new musicians.

A collection of songs that Costello wrote for other artists, performed by the man himself. The 2CD edition is superb, and shows his versatility as a songwriter.

Another rowdy rhythm record from Costello, this time with his new band - the Imposters. In a similar vein to Blood and Chocolate and Brutal Youth.

Costello's grammy nominated new album. The third part of Costello's 'American trilogy'. Elvis goes south, and gets funky. Featuring duets with Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris.

If you want a 'best of' to introduce you to Elvis...this is the only one you need!
