The Best Of Elvis Costello - The First 10 Years - Essential 22 Greatest Hits & Favourites Collection - This brilliant definitive compilation of hits offers the most penetrating overview available of Elvis Costello's work with The Attractions. Costello's early albums changed the face of pop music by harnessing punk's energy to a leaner, more incisive aesthetic that included pop hooks ,virtually inventing new wave in the process. While the Attractions didn't appear until Costello's second album, his debut's moving unsentimental ballad "Alison" nevertheless remains one of his most loved songs. The sound tightened up when the Attractions appeared, as evidenced by the angular, Reggae influenced "I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea" and the Dylan meets Johnny Rotten anthem of the disillusioned, "Pump It Up. "Elvis moved further afield in the following years, from the lush, almost baroque pop of "Accidents Will Happen" to the heart breaking ballad "Good Year For The Roses", "Everyday I Write the Book" is as close as any mere mortal will ever come to writing a Smokey Robinson tune. True to Costello's jittery, neurotic image, things close out on an obsessive note with "I Want You" an unsettling tale of uncontrolled desire. The depth of Costello's oeuvre is too vast to be captured on one disc, but this one comes mighty close .Essential listening & a must have for any good music collection - Buy without hesitation - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!
