- Each country of release or pressing has a a different photo of Elvis Costello behind the photocamera.

Elvis Costello's second album, "This Year's Model" (1978), is a blistering burst of new wave energy and lyrical venom. Backed by his band the Attractions, Costello delivers a raw and punchy sound. He dissects relationships with hits like "Pump It Up" and "(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea." The album's intensity and Costello's sharp songwriting established him as a major force in the emerging punk/new wave scene.
