Lipstick Vogue:Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Artist: Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Album: This Year's Model

Appears On (Mixes): Revme.Vox.Com

Song Notes: This is one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs, and I figured I may as well share it for everyone. It's from the second album, and the first with the Attractions, This Year's Model, which may also be my favorite Elvis record. Either that or Imperial Bedroom, probably. Both of those are outstanding. This has a lot more edges to it, though, and a really great drum part. Some of it reminds me a bit of Drums & Wires-era XTC, though it adds the one thing that that era XTC lacked -- really awesome organ, played here by Steve Nieve. Such a great song, really. - Rev.
