Elvis Costello & the Attractions: Trust (1981)


The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town
Meanwhile in Clubland they are ready to pull them down
Hey
My copy of Trust is a US pressing, which I find strange, because Canadian pressings were readily available. All of my previous Elvis records were pressed in Canada. I think Trust is a great record, though perhaps not as great as the first few. The record opens strongly, with Clubland, one of my fav Costello tracks. I've also really loved Watch Your Step, the track that closes out side 1. Something about the record cover makes me think of Risky Business, but this record came first, so it ought to be the other way around.
