It has to be said that Declan Patrick MacManus comes across as a bit of a diddy these days what with fleecing customers and generally being obnoxious.
However there was a time - in the mid 80s when he could do no wrong and was probably my favourite artist on the planet.
1986 is a prime example with two of his greatest albums being released that year - King of America in February billed as The Costello Show featuring the Attractions and Confederates and Blood and Chocolate in September as Elvis Costello and the Attractions.
I gave the last one a spin the other day for the first time in ages and while it didn't hit me in the solar plexus as it did first time round it was still pretty good if a bit dated.
One from each I think.
Indoor Fireworks is right up there with my favourite EC tracks of any era.
