Elvis Costello-The Best Of

This collection came out in 1985. All but one of the songs on side one are from his first three records and got plenty of airplay. Side two’s may not be as well known but are just as good. I remember watching the videos of the last two songs on the record “Every Day I Write The Book” and “The Only Flame In Town” when I was living in Hull , Massachusetts which is when I bought this record. Hull is an L shaped piece of land,barely above sea level, that sticks out into the Boston harbor in what is called the South Shore. From the end of the L you could see the 1200 ton crane at the shipyard where I worked. An interesting place to live, it was the home of Nantaskett Beach, a small amusement park,and a music venue Uncle Sams, that was above the post office,and where all the local Boston bands played.
