Notes
Both tracks produced by 'The Artist'. The sleeve shows Nick wearing Elvis Costello's glasses and holding a guitar with 'Costello' inlay on the neck, a clue to the music inside.
On the back of the sleeve is a picture of Nick at a Columbia Records promotion in Dallas, Texas (May 27, 1978) where they had a decorated Chevy Impala that Nick and others were taking a swing at with a sledgehammer. In the background you can see a ghost of Elvis Costello 'in the clouds' which is actually a large store display inside the Sound Warehouse where this was taking place. That's the sledgehammer over Nick's shoulder.
Uncredited roles on the A-side are Bruce & Pete Thomas from the Attractions, Billy Bremner of Rockpile and Costello adding backing vocals. The credit on the B-side is 'Nick Lowe And His Sound' - Elvis Costello singing with The Attractions as backing band.
