Breathtaking Jun 26 2004
Format:Audio CD
GET HAPPY was introduced to me by a co-worker back in 1980. At that time, I only had a handful of Elvis Costello singles (remember 45s?) but no albums. After the moment my co-worker lent me the album, I never stopped listening to Elvis Costello and to this album in particular. The rush of twenty two-minutes-and-change songs was breathtaking and still is. Its mix of passionate love tunes, whimsical poppiness, and downright raw soul was unprecedented.

I only wish I could reach back across the decades to shake that guy's hand for lending me GET HAPPY.

Happy Happy Happy April 27 2004
Format:Audio CD
Having been a Costello fanatic since day one (Stiff 11 - Less Than Zero), I will always put this one at the top of my list. It is the most infectious album and I have been singing these songs forever and still feel the power. Let me name a few favorites. Motel Matches makes me cry, Temptation, New Amsterdam, I can't stand up for falling down, Riot Act (wow), I stand accused, High Fidelity, Opportunity, Possession, King Horse, The Imposter, Man Called Uncle. Those songs are the best lyrical/musical songs I have heard in 30 years. Very few artists come close to that kind of power in their entire careers and EC did it on one album. THEN, he did it on the the previous three and again on Imperial Bedroom, King of america, Blood & Chocolate and I even have grown to love North. I am so glad he is still around and I get to see him perform live every few months. The Beatles and The Kinks gave it up, so there is only Elvis left. God Bless him.

The second disc is wonderful. I love the alternate takes. GREAT stuff.

Elvis Costello did! How can you possibly go wrong with two cds and 50 songs? By turning on your cd player - don't so it! No stars. Want great British music? Read more

Costello masterpiece from 1980
One of my greatest disappointments in life was discovering Costello far too late. I mean, I picked up this absolutely essential disc around 15 years after it was first released. Read more

Simply put, Elvis Costello is (in my humble opinion) one of the greatest song writers ever to ever record an album. Read more
