Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Get Happy!!, 1980 on Columbia

Yes, that’s “Get Happy!!” with not one but two exclamation marks. Fourth Costello studio LP and the third with The Attractions, following after Armed Forces. More influence here from R&B, soul, and even Ska.

My copy—via the Vinyl Vault in Littleton MA—is a Pitman pressing with (like most releases of this LP) the sides reversed on the rear jacket. (The tracks listed as “side one” are actually side two and vice versa – the labels are correct to the audio).
