Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Blood & Chocolate, 1986 on Columbia

Costello’s 11th studio LP and 9th with The Attractions, as a follow up to King of America, and produced by Nick Lowe.

Didn’t do so well commercially at the time, but now called one of his best. Costello is credited on the rear sleeve as “Napoleon Dynamite” – which is also the name of the cover painting (also by Costello, but attributed to Eamonn Singer – though the director of the same-named film claims it is not referring to Costello.

My copy – from the merch table at an Elvis Costello / Steve Nieve show at The Cabot – is a more recent (post 2015) reissue by UMe.

This is considered to be the first entirely animated music video.
