Numbered Limited-Edition 180-gram LP Sourced from Original Master Tapes Ranked #482 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time
Largely written on tour, Elvis Costello's Armed Forces takes the concept of personal politics to a new level. A supremely melodic and hook-laden record, the 1979 set is a showcase of scintillating keyboard lines, sharp guitar work, and the most cohesive arrangements of Costello and the Attractions' career.
