My Aim is True - Elvis Costello
Although he had formed The Attractions by the time of the release of this, his first album, the album was recorded with other musicians.
"We Got the Beat" is a song by the American #rock band #theGoGos, written by the group's lead guitarist and keyboardist #CharlotteCaffey. The band first recorded the song in 1980 for a single on UK-based #StiffRecords, and later rerecorded it for their debut album #BeautyAndTheBeat on #IRSRecords. The initial single release brought the Go-Go's underground credibility during their first UK tour and in the band's hometown of #LosAngeles.

"Alison" is a song written by and first recorded by #ElvisCostello in 1977 for his debut album #MyAimIsTrue on #StiffRecords. Costello claimed the song was written as an ode to a woman he saw working at a supermarket, though he has remained vague on the meaning. Though Costello's single never charted, it has become one of his most famous songs. #LindaRonstadt, who covered the song and released her version in 1979, had a moderate hit with it.

I find myself going back to the music of the great #NickLowe whose early work (#BrinsleySchwsrz, #Rockpile, and as a producer and songwriter for #StiffRecords and elsewhere) was so important to my musical education back in the 70s and 80s. #AproposOfNothing
