Show Notes

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Elvis Costello and the Attractions come off the road and into the studio to record their second album with a batch of songs honed on the stage. The boys talk about killer bass breaks, varied vocal stylings, and how the echoes of another Liverpool band made their way onto the tape.
