Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own.

I recently acquired a copy of the expanded CD edition of King Of America (which includes a bonus disc containing 21 demo, outtake, and live versions of the album’s songs). I also have the album on LP in a UK pressing and the one from MoFi (which has no digital conversion in the transfer from tape to the lacquer).

The studio band heard on many of the songs went by the name The Confederates. I wonder if that name would now be considered politically incorrect? 😊

@bdp24, I am glad you mentioned the CD version of King of America with the extra tracks, have had the LP version of the album and added the extended cd later when it became available and it is my favorite of ECs offerings, what a great song list and the players are 2nd to none and then you toss in T Bone Burnett. Enjoy the music

I'll have to put this one on my "bin buy" list

The debut and 2nd  album-My Aim is True/"This Year's Model" had my attention. 

SO MUCH new alt music during that period. Also saw Elvis at Hollywood High in 1978. 

A few years ago I found a copy "Almost Blue" in the 3/$10 bins.

Reviews were lukewarm, but I hear this cover album as a good listen.

For me, it's "My Aim Is True".  Listen quite often to it.

Most people don't know that members of his backing band for his first album (band name Clover) became "the News" for Huey Lewis. Or, at least some people don't know that...
