Elvis Costello & The Attractions · 1979 · Vinyl-LP · GB · RAD 14

Issued in a die-cut fold-out sleeve including four postcards and a 7" single 'Live At Hollywood High' which was only available as part of this package and not as a separate item in the UK. Initial copies had a red and yellow sticker stating: "FREE EP INSIDE" attached to the front cover. The packaging uses an ingenious cruciform design by an uncredited Barney Bubbles that can be folded in several alternative ways and even reversed to give a completely different front cover. The four postcards are cropped from the four corners of the complete square card, measuring approximately 62cm x 62cm.
