6 tracks from My Aim Is True and 8 from This Year’s Model. What’s there not to love about this 1978 Elvis Costello concert?
As an individual album, standing on its own without any competitors, it’s fine.
Perhaps the biggest problem is that Live At The Hollywood High from June 1978 has 7 tracks from My Aim Is True, 10 from This Year’s Model and 3 previews of songs that would appeal on the third Elvis Costello studio album, Armed Forces.
