Costello’s seventh album, and the sixth with The Attractions, it was released in July 1982, and seemed to be the first time in his five year career where not everyone was hanging on his every word.

Who am I? My name is Daryl and I’ve got over 40 years in pop music. I’ve sold it, I’ve written about it, released it, talked about it, and I play it in public while waving my arms.
