| Elvis Costello in 1975 |
In 1975 the future Elvis Costello was playing around London as D.P. Costello in his pub rock band Flip City . They also recorded various demos that would appear on his early albums. Married with a child, he had high hopes of leaving his computer operating job at an Elizabeth Arden cosmetics factory ( later disparaged as a “vanity factory” in “I’m Not Angry”).
In 2000 a much more serious and mature Costello put the following 1975 albums into a list he made for Vanity Fair of his 500 Favorite Albums. The song selections are his.
