Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1979 ) of Elvis Costello’s 3rd album, coming with complete appendices. An enclosed 3 Live Track EP ( 7” ) was issued only for its 1st press. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
