Elvis Costello - Watching the Detectives 7"/single (1977 UK import) VG+/VG-

The discs a strong VG+, visually graded, spinning smooth and sharp like a wiretap in a trenchcoat. Sleeves VG: a bit dog-eared, but thats just character. You drop this needle and its all cigarette smoke, paranoia, and lyrical ricochets. Like a Raymond Chandler novel narrated by a guy who got kicked out of the Attractions for being too sarcastic.
