Department of Corections:

As usual, David was a little mixed up; this time concerning songs added or dropped from Elvis Costello albums. He stated that “Radio Radio” was added to Armed Forces, but it was actually added to This Year’s Model, which lost two great songs: “Night Rally” and “(I Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea”. Armed Forces, on the other hand, was the album that lost “Sunday’s Best” in favour of “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding”. The three tracks were removed by the US record company, concerned that the songs were too British for American ears (or interests).
