Costello, Elvis And The Attractions - Imperial Bedroom

NEW VINYL LP ON MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB 2012.

NUMBERED 180 GRAM LIMITED VINYL, MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES.

Recorded with famed Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick, Imperial Bedroom stands as Elvis Costello and the Attractions’ most highly decorated traditional pop album. Boasting sumptuous arrangements, large-scale instrumentation, ambitious layers, Tin Pan Alley melodies, and orchestrated devices, the 1982 record is a testament to studio creativity and ornate production. Amidst the lavish settings beats the heart of Costello’s biting, brutal lyrics that confront domestic malaise and sober emotional reflection. It’s little wonder the intelligent effort took top honors in the Village Voice’s Pazz & Jop Critics’ Poll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Costello
