Great to hear you liked it mate. Funnily enough, first impressions for me weren't exactly mindblowing either - I remember buying the CD all those years ago and actually thinking it was all a bit turgid. No surprises, as you said. Very few of the guy's albums I liked from the word go. More often than not, with my favourites of his discography, it's been a case of repeated listenings being so rewarding. It's why I think a lot of people stop with My Aim Is True - such a great album that has an instant, often positive impact, unlike the albums I'd actually call my favourites.
Whenever you're up for some more Costello, let me know and I'll get something uploaded for you.
And on that note, I'll be pairing us all up later this evening (GMT). If anyone else wants in, it's not too late.
